Hawaiian corals and genomics


Off to Hawaii for and intensive 10 days of holiday sympsium on corals and new genomic technologies, with a few other animals thrown in!

Great place, great weather, awsome talks, and millions of ideas generated and swirling around, which was the whole point of getting lots of scientists and students talking around a beer table!








Absolutely horrific sea cucumbers....
