Philip and Tricia visited South Africa from January 19th-28th, where Philip gave the closing talk of the annual meeting of the South African Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SASBMB), in Grahamstown, Cape Province. The lecture was attended by the South African Minister of Science Mostbudi Mangena, who then gave the closing remarks that ended the conference.
Prior to the conference Philip and Tricia spent three days at the Amakhala Game Reserve, and a selection of pictures that Tricia took can be viewed here. They also managed to fit in a round of golf at the Grahamstown Golf Course with Greg Blatch, the Chairman of the Rhodes University Biochemistry Department, and another at the Port Alfred Golf Course on the cliffs above the Indian Ocean, during which they spotted four types of antelope (Impala, Bluebuck, Springbok and Duiker).
