We went to see the talk by the celebrated Rudolf Jaenish (of transgenic mice fame) at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The talk was fascinating, and touched upon iPS cells in medicine, epigenetic reprogramming, and imprinting. We then took some time afterwards to visit some sights in Kraków. It was a fun trip and a nice way to get out of the daily grind.

The talk took place at the wonderful newly built UJ campus - the main auditorium is impressive and the talk was fascinating.
Next to Wawel
We are about to climb the hill of Wawel - the castle where Polish Kings lived before they moved the capital to Warsaw
