I am back from the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago and needed a couple of day to recuperate. That meeting is getting way to big and unfortunately the quality of research is not increasing. Too many presentations where small significant effects are blown out of proportion, correct control groups were not run, and no real direction or purpose in doing the study other than to get a notch on the old resume.
Lots of great restaurants to eat at. We went to Berghoffs, an old haunt from graduate student days, and it was as good as ever. Also had two meals at a old time Chicago restaurant called Exchequer where we ate deep dish Chicago style pizza and I had a monster burger for lunch. We finished our trip by having a great meal at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse which was wonderful.
I have not caught up on my TV shows yet. Private Practice (ABC) was as dopey as ever, gets a D. Smallville (CW) had a great episode where Chloe pulls a game on Oliver to get him back as a hero, A. Robin Hood (BBC America) also was very good, we had an insane Prince John and Gisborne bests the Sheriff in a contest where we think he is dead but in the last frame, we see that he is still alive, A.
According to USA Today, Eastwick (ABC, Wednesday 10 pm Death Zone) and Three Rivers (CBS) are not doing well in the ratings and a call for a full season does not look good. Lie to Me (Fox) also has not had a full season pickup yet either. I like all three shows, and would miss Three Rivers and Lie to Me. Eastwick has not grown on me as a must watch show.
Penn State travels to Michigan this afternoon and I like Penn State to win a close game, 17-14.
New England goes to England to take on Tampa Bay, after the blowout against the Titans, I like them to win big there also, 35-0.
Oh well.
