A visit to the 3rd Next Generation Sequencing Congress in London was extremely busy and very interesting. The conference had a very indepth program on Next Generation platforms and their applications…

I was lucky enough to enjoy dinner with the Natural History Museum delegates at a pub restaurant. I can only describe it as a nautical maze with portion sizes designed for dinosaurs!  The museum is an amazing place well worth a visit, unfortunately the dinosaurs aren’t decorated with tinsel at Christmas but you can light up dippy in the main atrium!

On a scientific note you can watch the scientists at work in the Darwin Wing hopefully not sequencing, pop along to the GATC labs for that ;o)
