It’s summer in the Philippines, summer vacation for students and teachers and is usually the time for scientific conferences. One of the conference I would hopefully attend is the annual convention of the Philippine Society for Microbiology which will be held in Boracay. Yup, beaches, seafoods and microorganisms all in one go. The venue is at the Boracay Regency Beach Resort and Convention Center.
I’m already looking at possible accommodations – at the venue itself, a condo hotel or in on of the many private cottages that dot the island. Though I’ve got to finish the abstract first to ensure I’ll attend.
