From the #Economist some valuable information to keep in mind when travelling to the UK:
Of course now I am interested to see what the Portuguese like and dislike. Going to explore Lisbon.

time trial again
Riding to work for the first time in three weeks I note a slight temperature gradient between running at the Côte d'Azur between 8-9 am and Germany at the same time. Maybe it is not even the temperature, but rather the sun being much lower here and not already burning like mad. Also note that I like cycling more than running. Need to take the bike to Southern France next time.
Now lab meeting and then only some few hours to (as a good scientist always does) finish my poster in the last moment before heading out to Lisbon on Sunday. They wrote something like 35 - 39 Celsius with a minimum of 20. No running I guess...
back from vacations, relaxed and loaded like a spring at the same time
what will the reviewers have had to say?
"Your manuscript has now been peer reviewed and the comments are accessible in PDF format from the links below."
get working!

Vacations a the Côte d'Azur - And a nice moon.
On the way to spend two weeks a the beautiful and hopefully very warm and sunny Côte d'Azur. Looking forward to the snorkelling and a lot of fun. Time to read some books (only took two scientific ones!). Maybe I even managed to finish "Thinking fast and slow", bought a year ago in Scotland. Meanwhile there was a beautiful moon over Cologne last week.

They are our public servants. We pay them!
“What the hell do they think we are — puppets?” Ms. Thomas asked. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”
This sentence is credited to Helen Thomas who recently died goo.gl/pJjVx
I think it is more true and important then ever today...

#China "harvesting" organs from people on dead row
This article is manly about some other atrocities, which are unproven, but that they take organs from executed people is official. Didn't even know, yet.
Although apparently authorities vowed to abandon this, it is a disgrace to all mankind!

#Köln #Excellent #Women
There is currently a two day meeting here at the glorious Cologne Bio Centre, including a nobel laureate in attendance (telling PI's to fire their PhD students if they don't deliver - pretty fast). Far from wanting to judge on the meeting in any way I'd just like to take the liberty and translate the meeting's title as I just read it on a welcome board:
Cologne Excellent Women in Science
=
Köln exzellent(e) Frauen in Wissenschaft
Makes sense, eh? Köln Rulez!
