Posted on May 11, 2010 by rpg

I’ve just received an email advertising a meeting: Biomathematics & Ecology: Education & Research. This is a clear case of fiddling the title to get an acronym. Yes, it’s

BEER 2010

I hope it’s an accurate description of the meeting, althuogh it’s in Illinois so they must be importing. I can’t go, though: it overlaps with Science Online London 2010, our very own BEERANDCIDERANDVODKAANDAARDAVRKSANDFINEWINES 2010.

    Hm, Sol0 might only serve non-alcoholic beer, though.

    I’m confused. I thought every conference was a BEER conference.

    I’m saving my travel money for the Wide-screen Imaging for Novel Ecology meeting. I hope it’s in Buckfast.
