In November 2008, Hagan Bayley spoke at the Synthetic Biology Workshop in
Groningen, NL, for which he had been persuaded to give a 90-minute lecture
by the organiser Bert Poolman. Bert has a liberal definition of synthetic
biology, which led to a very exciting meeting with both the top-down and
bottom-up schools represented.

Hagan Bayley spoke recently at a Symposium held by the RSC at the LMB in
Cambridge to honour Roger Kornberg. In the 1970s, at the LMB, as a postdoc
with Aaron Klug, Roger discovered the nucleosome. Of course, his group at
Stanford went on to do a few other things including the discovery of
mediator and the determination of structures of RNA polymerase. For a

Well, at least Hugh Pelham is not wearing a tie.
