Conferences are mentally draining, and I've only been here a few hours. Why is it that people dive right into their talks w/ minimal introduction? Sure, the audience may be generally aware of your field, but most don't know the exact basis for your work.....stuff like that tends to lose me quick if I can't place the relevance of what someone is talking about. Makes me feel better about my talk tomorrow, as I think I give a reasonable intro.
I talked briefly to researchers at another institution that are our competitors. Their PI trained mine before going there. Now, we are basically doing the same work but not collaborating while leap-frogging each other. Doesn't really make sense why it is like this...in our lab we reman secretive on some things so that we don't get scooped. Politics of academia are annoying, at times. Oh well. There's definitely more on that topic.
Time to roam posters....
