>How about Bioinformatics?  hint, hint.

If I had gone to biocon this year, I'd be all over that, straining at the bit 
to relate my experiences.  As it is, that is actually a difficult topic.  It 
would have to include a crash course in some molecular biology, and a review 
of some of the applications in bioinformatics as a field.  The obvious choice 
for a keynote topic is to highlight some components of the bioperl project, 
similar to Abram's presentation of WWW::Mechanize,  which just issued its 1.2 
release.  I could also dig up some reviews of biocon(s) and present the main 
points, and then finish off with a quick review of the work I do (am trying to 
do).  I'm not sure how interesting all that would be for you guys though...
