Every two years, ion channel geeks from around the globe gather in the middle of nowhere (South Hadley, to be precise) to attend the Gordon Conference on Ion Channels. The Pless lab made a good showing this year, with 4 posters, a talk by Keith and Tim chairing the research seminar preceding the main meeting. It was a great conferecence with plenty of opportunities to catch up with friends and colleagues from the field – and of course with former PhD student Federica.
