A guy and a good meal

Ok, let me confess. I am the sort of guy who enjoys a good meal -not that I am alone in this of course. Here I am at a Persian restaurant in San Diego where my mom and I were presenting a poster in the Experimental Biology conference. Both of us got quite sick ere, and my dad had to take me to the ER, but I still think it was worth it. You know, for the sake of the advancement of science (and maybe a good meal or two?!!)

Ilia attends a scientific conference

We went to San Diego, al of us, and I took part in presenting a poster. All distinguished professors stopped by, and said hi. I was very courteous, and tried to answer all their questions. This is Professor Pelto, and she really likes children.
