Christine,

could you post this message to me on the OS list ? I tried Michael Herman's
suggestion to send it with another account, but for some unknown (of me)
reasons, I didn't manage to subscribe to the list with another adress.. I
give up for today.
Thanks for your help 
christine

To add a bit to Chris post on our mixing and blending and  

polishing of ideas - Chris mentioned that great scientific discoveries  

were often made in isolation - I wish to respectfully disagree. Coming  

from a background in basic science, I remember balking when my advisor  

wanted me to go to the Society for Neuroscience meeting. I mean,  

25,000 neuroscientists in a crowded conference hall? Each  

egotistically touting their own research? What was the point?

Well - I went, and now I know why we have meetings. You wander around  

in a daze, looking at posters, overhearing conversations, and  

occasionally something piques your interest and you start a  

conversation. And - the greatest new ideas and innovations come from  

these seemingly random encounters. Ideas you never would have thought  

to try seem to come at you from thin air! The simple act of getting  

people with common interests together in a physical space (or virtual  

space, like Lactnet) takes all of us into new realms, introduces new  

ways of thinking about things, in a way that literature searches and  

courses of study could never do.

That said - this is a veiled plug for all of us to do whatever we can  

to get to meetings and symposia whenever possible. This is where the  

real learning takes place - not in the lectures or presentations, but  

in the discussions after, the meeting of minds!

Hooray for the process!



That's it for today's Sunday morning ramble...
