You gotta hit up those conferences that have some clinical backing. Straight up chemistry conferences…ehhh. But if there’s a clinical portion, buffets, nice dinners, swag as the youth used to call it.
Don’t know about you, but buffet is a terrible way of eating.
I much prefer those conferences where a meal in a restaurant is offered and then everyone gets drunk and young researchers end up talking about their posters at 4 in the morning in a night club.
Science conference at a day spa resort:
200 people in bathrobes listening to a lecture
*loads several plates and face with buffet*
Now THIS is science!
Then why is the food at my school’s academic events so fucking bad? 🙃
Because you’re not on the committee and you should be
You just have to get sponsored by Epstein and away you go.
I want to write something here about the best conference catering ever, but it would probably dox me, so I won’t.
Same with tech conferences. Find me at the breakfast and lunch buffets, and maybe scouring the vendor booths for some free socks and shirts.
Still chasing my white whale: the eppendorf pipette pen.
Deep Fried Memes? I’d visit that!
