I haven’t done so well with writing lately. Things got a little busy at work. I’ve been in
Washington DC at a conference called Digestive Disease Week, where gastroenterologists from around the world converge for a week of science, sight-seeing, and free coffee-drinking. Last year, 16,000 gastroenterologists and surgeons attended. I was really glad it was in DC, since I can’t travel any farther, even if it did necessitate the pre-conference scientific poster-making and other general frenzy. I also got to drive back and forth from DC to
Baltimore as I still had to work Monday and Tuesday. The scientific stuff at the conference was really good and people asked questions about my scientific posters and not just my belly . So….. I resolve to write more often.
digestive disease week! man, gastroenterologists really do it up right.

Heck yeah! It’s not all poop jokes and free samples of fiber. There’s alot of the ‘unknown’ in gastroenterology, as it wasn’t always the most popular career choice for researchers (the gross factor), so there’s now alot of scientific research in the area.
