ESOP99

(1999 European Society for Photomorphogenesis Meeting, Frei Univ, Berlin, Germany)

Liscum lab attendees to this meeting were myself and Emily Stowe-Evans (PhD in Biological Sciences, 2000). Emily was in the third year of her dissertation work and this was the perfect meeting for her - small but attended by essentially all the "big-wigs" in plant photobiology. My first trip to Berlin (Emily's second). We enjoyed bpth the science and the "culture" of the meeting venue - given my love of WWII history is it any wonder?

All photos taken by either myself or Emily

Soviet War Memorial - Constructed as a memorial to the Red Army soldiers who liberated Berlin in April 1945. "The Last Battle" by Corneilus Ryan wonderfully tells the story of the Battle of Berlin
