My visit to the University of Toronto

Yesterday I had a great time visiting the biochemistry department at the University of Toronto. I met up with Lary Moran of Sandwalk who gave me a tour of the place. (We also got caught up in a huge discussion that culminated in a bet ... I will disclose the details at a future date.)

Later that night I met up with some local bloggers, Philip of Biocurious, Eva of Easternblot and John of Confession of a Science Librarian. Eva should be posting some pictures at some point.

I'm going to start preparing for today's talk. Wish me luck.

How did the talk and interview go?
Good luck, and hope it went well.
I'm also starting to interview so thoughts on what things did and didn't go well would be great.
