As I write, I am eating the best science experiment ever: the Parisian baguette. Je t'aime! Everyone picks one up after work; I get off so late it was down to the last one in the Patisserie, but I snatched that baby up, merci beaucoup.
Today I went to the international "Young Researchers in the Life Sciences" conference sponsored by my Institute and the Curie Institute. Met a couple other American attendees there and will be going to the "American lunch" on Friday. At 10 a.m. they had a wine and cheese break and tonight they have a rock band playing. Only the French!
Got some good bioluminescence images of cells today- just me and my black box. Spent part of the day designing experiments I'll do to fulfill the patent we just got.
Watching the French equivalent of American Idol ("Nouvelle Star"). They pretty much sing all American/English songs, but their accents are really distracting ("You got mee zo ay can't zleep aaht night!").
Drizzly today, but hit the pavement after work to check out the Rue LeCourbe. It is the longest straight, continuous stretch of road in France! Loving all of the little cars; can I take a Mini home with me please?
