【#AACR editorial】 Some time you wonder whether the basic scientists are oversimplifying the clinical situation.

【#AACR Editorial】 So far there is nothing that feels like very provocative findings. I feel more steady progress in cancer research.

Seems the #aacr buses run on a London schedule... Three number 5's come and no number 6's sigh. Line snaking thru convention hall

It is poor planning not to have coaches ready for end of pm sessions: 27 mins and counting at peak time is unacceptable #aacr
— Pieter Droppert (@3NT) April 2, 2012
Not a good sign when the #aacr bus driver looks as old as Methuselah spends 5 mins trying to adjust seat then drives off with door open
— Pieter Droppert (@3NT) April 3, 2012
#aacr bus driver now makes wrong turn in downtown Chicago - hard to go wrong but now doing the loop - this has long day written all over it
— Pieter Droppert (@3NT) April 3, 2012
#aacr bus driver now asking conf attendees on coach for directions "I am not from Chicago" - hilarious but for fact I'm now late for session
— Pieter Droppert (@3NT) April 3, 2012
Still driving around Chicago in the "lost" #aacr Conf coach "please be patient" says driver. #fail twitter.com/3NT/status/187…
