As you may know we were at the Tri-Conference Molecular Medicine to present novo|seek and we really enjoyed it. Obviously San Francisco is far away from Madrid, I repeat, faaaarr away from Madrid. However, both the show and the city are worth the trip. We arrived in San Francisco a bit late at night and joined the show the day after. Consequently, we had to set everything up in no more than 15 minutes before I gave a talk on novo|seek. Thank you to those who attended it.
That first day was really busy: we had a lot of people coming by -and surprised to face a FREE product- giving us new ideas and sharing thoughts with us on the industry. No need to tell you that it’s been really interesting and fulfilling.
We had the chance to meet Bernadette Torner from GenomeWeb with whom we had a a nice chat and with Yannick Pouliot who works at Standford School of Medicine at the Lane Medical Library. Interestingly, he instantly understood novoseek and its purpose. He always has interesting new insights and projects going up. Good luck with that!
Apart from work, we had our deal of funny things that really caught our attention. First, the number of Starbucks in San Francisco is amazing. Second, the taxi driver. No matter where your travel to, there are always good stories with taxi drivers. In our case we discussed about the hidden Web and wondered whether to trust someone who has no results in Google or not.
Our trip back was a little annoying. In Philadelphia we remained in the plane for almost 2 hours, the time necessary to take the snow out of it. Although it was really impressive and entertaining, it didn’t contribute to a nice trip. By the way, did I mention that San Francisco is really far from Madrid?
Anyway, thanks to all of you who walked by our stand and didn’t hesitate to give us feedback on novoseek. We are always looking forward to it.
See you at our next show: Bio-IT world.
