ANCS 06 - Another interesting and successful conference

ANCS 06 drew to a close last Tuesday evening. I am now back at my desk in Ireland and my soul has now caught up with my translocated jet lagged body. It was well worth the trip however. The keynote speakers on both days were excellent, they provided an indepth yet accessible talks on current developments and future tremds.

The various sessions were well organised and the papers presented were interesting and thought provoking. The networking aspect (forgive the pun) was invaluable as it allowed people to put faces to email addresses, and have some meaningful discussions.

As a phd student who is trying to wind up his thesis I found the conference an excellent event, I learned alot about areas outside my sphere of research which is allways a nice thing. Many thanks to Will Eatherton, Patrick Crowley et al.
