Bertinoro (June 12-17 '04)

My first big summer trip was to the hilltop village of Bertinoro in Italy. The University of Bologna converted a castle at the top into a conference center. Marie-France Sagot, Dannie Durand and Anna Tramantano put together a one week workshop on the analysis and derivation of pathways and networks in molecular biology that was really quite excellent bringing together a number of very diverse researchers. Most of the photos are from a midweek excursion to the town of Ravenna for site seeing and then a dinner at a restaurant on the beach in Rimini.
