Yesterday at the Norwegian public health institute annual microbial genomics meeting.

Talk by Dagfinn Skaare.

First frost of the season and didn't really fancy doing my usual run. The views were worth it though.

No, it's not a midlife crisis, I've had that already.

Unexpected but always impressive, northern lights in southern Norway.

View over the sea after a half marathon that didn't go too well. Nice and relaxing to see the sea like this.

My continued frustration with this DuoLingo language app. Trying to learn Norwegian but criticising my English. It is possible of course that my English is poor but is 'You first have to dial six' or 'You have to dial six first ' incorrect? The suggested 'You have to first dial six' seems ugly?

Visited my collaborators at the Statens Serum Institut in beautiful Copenhagen. Obviously I need to check out Nyhavn. The colours in the morning sun have a kind of Turner-esque feel.

Evening sunset over the sea in Norway.

View over the beach somewhere in Norway.

Just back in time from my morning run, more rain on the way.

The weather's changing, autumn's in the air.

#Norway

Last week we organised the Norwegian Society for Microbiology annual meeting at the University of Stavanger.

Honoured to have been elected #president of the society. I will do my best to further the field of #microbiology in #Norway and beyond.
