This is a nice area and I have taken the liberty of ducking out on one or two sessions to do some of my own comparative physiology sleuthing. Like most comparative physiologists, some of my best work is done outside the lab.

I think I could live here. This suburban Denver city is the eighth most populous in the state. In 2006, it was ranked 24th in Money magazine's Top 100 Best Places to Live. That was a notch above Ann Arbor, MI.

However, deciding where to live rarely is left up to just one person. Isn't there always a SO (significant other), spouse, offspring in the picture with their own POV, which of course must be considered? I have the next three days all to myself. I'll look around some more and maybe into the career opportunities for enterprising physiologists.

Ten Years Before the Blog: 2005-2006 (Part I)
Continuing the blog recap series, we come to the "split year" of 2005-2006. The blog was initially launched in late June, so that's when I'm starting the years for purposes of these recaps, but ScienceBlogs launched in January 2006, so this year was half Steelypips and half ScienceBlogs. This post…
Update on Pepsipocalypse
The crack SEED management team has made some significant changes on the new Pepsi nutrition blog. They have placed a small, grey band on the banner that says "Advertorial" (a word I abhor, but whatever). They have also placed the Pepsi logo everywhere and made it fairly clear that it is Pepsi…

Thanks for posting about the meeting! I always love these comparative meetings because the researchers and the research are so interesting. It is nice to see so many "young" people at the meeting and so many international attendees. I hope to see everyone at the 2014 meeting!
