In addition, there were 109 participants presenting 112 posters during two different sessions

You may recognize sitting left, Paola, Lodovico, then after several ones John Irwin....on his left, first row, Wayne Hendrickson, Director, and at his left John Kuriyan....After three faces, on John Irwin right, you see Vivian Cody and above her, slightly on the left Hugo Monaco. I seem to distinguish Tina Izard, second row just above Paola, then Hugh Huxley on the same row, just above Wayne and, after one face, Wim Hol, Director 1988
