The 12^th biennial ESM conference was held in Providence RI August 14-17, 2010.
The meeting provided once again a superb display of scientific discussion mixed with social interaction. Providence provided the perfect setting for the conference, with its rich history (Brown University), artistic display (Waterfire) and gracious host (Susan D’Andrea and the Center for Restorative and Regenerative Medicine). The conference was attended by a combination of new and old attendees which provided an ideal mixture for new friendships and collaborations to be formed. Some of the conference highlights included the Workshops at the CRRM, the RISD Museum of Art evening even including the most beautiful piano concert by one of the conference presenters, Henriette Gaertner, and a docent led tour displaying some impressive 19th, 20th and 21st century artists, and the Block Island activity day including a lobster feast at sunset. The final banquet provided good laughs and great music and an announcement for the next ESM, to be held in Brazil in 2011. Once again, ESM was a success! – by Maria Pasquale, novel inc.
