Baseoils and belly-dancing

The Blog has been enjoying the almond-stuffed dates from Dubai which are the most edible souvenir of last week's ICIS Middle East Baseoils Conference.

Our own Shelley Kerr is just back from presenting a paper at the conference's Baseoils Methodology Seminar and meeting many of her editorial contacts during the two-and-a-half day event. From her photos, I see that the highlights of the trip were the Dubai skyline, the belly-dancing with full delegate participation, the reunion with the ICIS Dubai alumni and a delegate outing to Rock Bottom.
