Colleagues:

I thought I would bring you an up-to-date report from the Cytomics meeting in 
Wales. 

The meeting started tonight and we heard a fascinating presentation on the 
background and history of the discovery of the double helix by James D. 
Watson. The talk was given by Prof. Errol C Friedberg, from the Univeristy of 
Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, USA. I found the presentation 
quite fascinating as it brought to me a sense of what probably really happened 
in those labs in Cambridge in the early 1950s.

After dinner there were a couple of presentations by Beckman-Coulter on 
Tetramers and one on using CFSE for dye dilution assays.

Wednesday, if I should wake up early enough, we will have several lectures 
on Genomics,  followed by some Cytomics sessions in the afternoon.

The Celtic Manor Resort is magnificient. I am on the 10th floor, and I took a 
couple of photos out of the window of my room when I arrived today and you 
can see then and the rest of my daily report at

I feel like an embedded reported in the Cytomics society!!

Till tomorrow

J. Paul Robinson at the Celtic Manor, Wales.
