Map That Campus VI

After the World Cup I've been racing through a month of neglected work (thus no time to blog). Big stories in Cell Biology: actin gets arginylated (spell?), mRNA targetted to the ER gets degraded in times of stress, and the major paradigm shift in the Golgi (the biggest two papers this year, IMHO).

OK enough of that ... time for my Friday special:

Not Quite. I already got a correct answer (by email) so it is solvable. Good luck.

Correct!

And here is the correct answer + an explanation by email from Jeff Lanam,

Valdivia, Chile was the location of the largest recorded earthquake, 9.5 on May 22, 1960. It is the home of the Universidad Austral de Chile. The picture is around 39'48'22" S by 73'14'39" W.

Ha! Nice to stumble across a picture from home, while roaming the sci. blogosphere! That's my town, though I'm spending some time in France right now. *Sob*, I miss the beauty and peace of the rivers' city. And sure, it shaked quite a bit, as anyone old enough (and even those too young to really know) will be eager to tell you if you ever pay a visit. Which I strongly encourage, of course!

As someone who has been there, I agree, Valdivia is very beautiful, and worth a visit.
