After unexpectedly surviving the second-largest lab animal science conference in Europe, I had no choice but to take on the largest. And so I polished my Powerpoint presentation, and headed to the 49th Annual Meeting of the Society for Laboratory Animal Science in Dresden.

Finally, it was time to face my doom at the conference. In the end however, it appeared I needn't have worried.

It appeared that I had survived once again.
