Just had a lovely work dinner. Our charming guest of honor Dr Bargmann gave a fascinating talk this afternoon. Amongst a dozen of achievements, she discovered a gene that makes worms sociable.

A glass or 2 later, I was bullshiting as usual, about kindergarten philosophy, fruitfly free will and worm consciousness. I even asked her about those flatworms!
It was only *afterwards* that we figured out she was Richard Axel's wife! Lucky I didn't say anything too far out :P
