If I don’t write it down, I never seem to find time to do it. Craig Venter passed away in April 29, it makes me feel my world become old and faraway with these excited people.

For me, it marks the end of an era.

Venter is someone I first learned about from textbooks when I studied genomics. My mentor in the US also worked at the J. Craig Venter Institute before, and he told me that he could focus on a project and not talk to anyone for a week (which I doubt), but that place seems amazing.
