I had a really good time at an interest group called array(bio) last night. It will examine the effects of software on biotechnology. The first talk was about arrays. The meeting was fascinating. Not simply because of the topic, which was well done, but by the variety of people attending. There were biologists who were doing programming, programmers doing biology, visual scientists, venture capitalists, graduate students, etc. It looks like the interactions here will be as important as the presentations. The next meeting is in Decemeber. It should be fun. 9:04:25 PM
