Pathobiology Camp, Snowmass, CO. July 16-23
I applied the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) Pathobiology Workshop thinking that it would be a great oppertunity to meet fellow students and researchers in cancer area. As a MD, I didn't expect to learn a lot new in Pathology in the camp. Well, I was wrong, almost all the instructors are MDs with research labs. Although the main aim of the camp is to teach ph.Ds cancer pathology, I found myself learned a lot from these MD researches--not only histology and pathology, but also the way they see and conduct research. We had several 1hr lectures focusing on various hot area in cancer research. Most of them were about basic knowledge on one aspect, they are very helpful in clarifying definations as well as updating important new findings.
Well, should shut up about "serious stuff". The beer there is called "flat tire", quite strong. The best hiking scene there is Maroon bells, purely beautiful. People I met there are friends...
