Other than being in a gorgeous location and the perfect time to be there, I had my mind blown repeatedly during some of the teaching workshops I attended there. I came back with some ideas to overhaul my own teaching, especially my undergrad genetics course. During the downtime in the conference, I made full use of the opportunity to be out and about in the hill country &#8211; I wandered the trails and birded and even went on a moonlit walk to the observatory, racking up\u00a0a total of 23 miles walked in two days.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ebird.org\/ebird\/view\/checklist\/S35691801\">Here is my bird list, available on eBird.<\/a>\u00a0And some
