Woot! My talk went quite well - I felt very comfortable with my material (having practiced the slides a mess of times yesterday certainly helped), and think I handled the questions posed rather well.
I was tremendously impressed with the quality of the presentations by the other technicians. I guess that sounds kinda dickish - I don't mean that I expected anyone to be bad. I mean that I've seen a lot of presentations from a lot of technicians, and the overall quality of these talks was leagues higher than what I've seen in the past.
I thought it was a really great day's worth of talks - I wonder if this is what it's like to go to a scientific meeting?

Nope - scientific meetings are packed full of awful, very boring talks! :)

ReplyDeletebut sometimes you can witness some awesome arguments between big whigs!
ReplyDeleteDid you have wine? And some strange posters where even more strange lesser people stand around wanting the VIP people to come round and say "hm, interesting".... no? ahh... :)
ReplyDeleteFun times that it went well! Yey!
There was no booze at the retreat. :( Also no posters - though honestly, I would vastly rather give a talk than a poster. The whole idea of standing there, like a salesperson a mall kiosk, waiting for someone to come up to you, gives me the heebie jeebies.
