I am going to Germany April 17-24 for the ISS Symposium that is being sponsored by the European Space Agency. At the end of that conference, I will be attending a series of programmatic meetings at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. Sooooooo cool. Details of the ISS Symposium are here: http://www.iss2010symposium.com/

I don’t even know the German language at ALL so this will be a challenge. At least in Paris I knew enough French to get around, and that made it fun! Now I will feel slightly stupid ;)

My hotel (http://travel.aviewoncities.com/hotel/propertydetails/127264/SUMMARY?isHRN=true&cid=71006) will be right on the grounds of the Gendarmenmarkt square, though the agenda looks packed from morning till bedtime.

It’s great to have a job you love!!!
