Topics discussed included:
1) How important is it to adhere to the time schedule of the program for scientific meetings by strictly adhering to the time allotted for each speaker's talk?
Do meeting organizers, session chairmen, speakers, and audiences in different countries tend to have different values about the importance of adhering to the time schedule of such programs?
2) What was the most interesting thing you learned at this week's RNA Sciences in Cell and Developmental Biology II meeting at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe this week? For some, it was the talk presented by Aki Hayashi entitled:
HP1/Swi6 Acts in Concert with Ers1 to Regulate RNAi-directed Heterochromatin Assembly
Dr. Hayashi and her colleagues have a recent paper on the same topic in PNAS titled:
Heterochromatin protein 1 homologue Swi6 acts in concert with Ers1 to regulate RNAi-directed heterochromatin assembly
3) Why are "Ivy League" universities in the USA called "Ivy League"? Hints: the name is historically related to both sports and the New England climate.
4) Evolutionary importance and mechanisms of quality control mechanisms for protein and RNA
