First conference on my own

Second week of the new year and here I go to London, first time in the city apart from the airports, sponsored by Virgin trains! Quite fast I must say, 1h30!
Time to rencounter Rodrigo, meet Sílvia and on the next day rencounter an old friend that I haven't seen for a couple of years... Great dinner (Wagamama sponsor) great people... what can I say more? It was really nice :) Thank you*

But I was there in "work", to spy on Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance! hehe
Can you guess who I encountered there? People from Gulbenkian! And another guy doing his PhD in Edimbra, from the Gabba program. The world is really a small place! :)

On my last day I decided to spend a couple of hours at the National History Museum. There I was looking at the fossils when suddenly I hear "Please find your nearest exit. This is an emergency evacuation" ... everyone starts to look for the exit and when we finaly got there, the security guys were letting people entering the building !?!?! "There's an emergency call? Ok, Stop right there! Do not try to come in!" Whatever!
Let's keep moving and come back to the peaceful Birmingham :)
See you next time London! ;)
