A story of survival

As is often the case with our work, the times when we really want to blog are the times when we are most busy and unable to blog. This blog is therefore reporting on our quarterly meeting which happened 23-28 January. Still I thought it would be nice to share some of these pictures of the event and the story of the people of San Francisco which is a very sad one, yet also one of survival, resilience and pride.
