Sunday morning penance: small correction

The Moscone Centeer is indeed a vast place. ASCB is in Moscone South but in last night's blog I said that the American Geophysical Union (AGU) would be across the street in the other "half" of the Moscone. Apparently AGU will be in the Moscone West which is technically "across the street" if you cut across catty-corner. Accuracy, however, requires this correction. Also I've always wanted to use the word, "catty-corner," in a science context. I offer it up as a possible name for a Drosophila gene. Readers are invited to submit a possible phenotype for catty-corner.
