Welcome to not-so-sunny San Diego

Today's weather is perfect for a day full of science talks: warm enough for a comfortable walk from the hotel to the conference center, but overcast, making spending the day in conference halls somewhat appealing. I just got out of a great talk on personalized medicine and can't wait to blog about it. As a staff writer at the Broad Institute, I'm incredibly excited to be here attending talks related to the future of genetics and genomics (and mingling with fellow science writers -- I'm refueling on coffee and sitting in the news lounge right now) and I'm really looking forward to sharing my impressions on this blog! I'm starting a longer, more substantive entry on this morning's seminar right now and hope to post that soon.
