Event Photos 2011 – SFB Conference

Society for Biomaterials (SFB) Conference in Orlando, FL (April 13-16, 2011)

Welcome to Orlando! Mickey greets everyone at the airport. Of course, there are gift shops everywhere!

Serious matters -- Sarah Mayes talks with Dr. James Burns of Genzyme.

Hieu Nguyen and his undergrads (Jeff Coursen and Claudia Wei) pose in front of their poster with Christine. Hieu is in one of his usual silly poses!

Here is the pool at our hotel (Disney Polynesian)– not too shabby!

Christine on a boat ride to catch lunch with Sarah at another Disney resort (Wilderness Lodge).

Christine with Mr. Potato Head at Downtown Disney.

Run for cover -- it’s Peter Pan!

This is a gigantic water monster made from Legos. Pretty cool engineering feat!

The SFB “Biomaterials Bash” party is held at Epcot.

We have front row viewing of the Epcot fireworks and light show.

Christine’s “academic grandchild” Shreyas Rao from Ohio State (graduate student of former student, Jessica Winter) joins us on the spell-binding “Living with the Land” boat tour.

Christine and Sarah hop on the “Living with the Land” boat ride since there is no line (there is a reason for this!). This is after waiting for over 30 minutes to ride “Soaring”. “Dip us, dip us!” – you will have to ask Sarah or Christine about this.

Shreyas and Sarah hit it off. This boat ride is a good place to relax and chat.

Wow – agriculture at its best in the “Living with the Land” boat tour. (Sarah is captivated and takes this photo)

Yes, that is correct. We had free Epcot admission for the night and we spent our time looking at a 9-pound lemon.

Alright – the good stuff! We posed with Mickey and friends. Here is Shreyas with Mickey Mouse.

Sarah with MM (she could hardly contain herself!).

Christine with the Mouse (we were instructed not to call him a “rat”).

More photos with people in animal costumes! Here we are all with Pluto.

No one can resist Minnie!

Donald Duck – quack!

And finally, Goofy (we were supposed to make “goofy” faces, but what do you expect from a bunch of scientists wearing their nametags through Disney – actually, only Sarah still had her nametag on!).
