The day before yesterday (May 12), we had a chance to attend a seminar by Dr. Kenneth Soderhall (University of Uppsala) held in Dr. Kawabata's Lab. The topic was crustacean immune system, with many interesting findings on ProPO system and hematopoietic cytokines.
I was also invited to have a dinner with them in a Japanese restaurant in Tenjin (the city center of Fukuoka). Actually the Japanese dishes were very nice and Kenn looked very satisfied about that.
We had fun hours with beer and rice wine, resulting in heavy hangover at least on me.
*Ken is the President of International Society of Developmental and Comparative Immunology; I will start a service as the President Elect of the society from July 2009.
