離 2008 過了兩年，今年又到了斑馬魚會議的時間啦。雖然還是辦在 Madison, 今年和上次最大的不同是所有演講的場地都換到了 Overture Center. 和 Memorial Union 相比，演講場地的容納量與品質確實比較好，但是 Overture Center 調性冷硬，演講場地以外的功能就比不上 Memorial Union 了。另外這也連帶地造成了午餐必須辦在另一個飯店，品質遠不及 Memorial Union 的晚餐。
經過一週努力以快遞寄出各種需要冷凍冷藏的好料，連魚都寄走，並且把各種雜物器材打包裝箱，順便還把我住處的東西運過來跟著裝箱偷渡以後，今天搬家公司正式前來把實驗室清空啦。驚人的一百多個大紙箱加上各種不裝箱的架子櫃子設備等，居然兩個打包大叔從八點半到十一點半，加上兩個搬貨輕輕鬆鬆哥哥從十一點到兩點半就全部上車啦。果然哥哥有練過哦。
