CARDICIS - workshop experiences

The most annoying thing about this meeting is the way that time management is run - instead of a quiet beep or a note to advise the speaker of the passage of time, there is a percussion band! So - when you're 50% done, you are interrupted by a loud percussion... maracas (chac chacs), drums, - I've been jumping out of my chair! It's loud, distracting, and I am so glad I'm not speaking, as it would totally make me lose my train of thought. One case where different is no way better.
