Travels

For the past three weeks or so I have been roaming around Europe. After time in Amsterdam and too much time in Schiphol airport I went to Bratislava for the European Teratology Society meeting.

After Bratislava I moved onto Basel in Switzerland via a couple of stops in Germany to visit editors. I was in Basel for the European Environmental Mutagen Society meeting.

Both meetings contained sessions that focused upon the growing interest in epigenetics in their fields. Positioned slightly differently but interesting from the outside observer to see these two fields crossing over slightly.

For more on epigentics there is a good intro via Science (though old), a European network and an article in EHP in March 06.
