That being said, I will be attending this lively gathering for astronomers, physicists, and astrophysicists from all around the world and so I thought I would send out the word and see if any other bloggers or loyal readers will also be making an appearance. If so I suggest the first ever Eternal Universe Nerd-fest where we can get together, eat a moderately good meal (hopefully on our advisers' grant money), and raise a glass of water to room N216 in the beloved Eyring Science Center. Post your plans and thoughts in the comments and I hope to see you in Seattle.
Nick,
ReplyDeleteYou know I will be there. I say that we plan the meal for when I am supposed to be manning my poster. :)
(I am normally anti-poster but this is the one conference where those with posters actually get better exposure than the speakers (unless you are a keynote.))
Joe,
ReplyDeleteI agree about posters - talks are usually much better, especially if you have data best displayed in movie format. However the 5 min. slots available for contributed talks at this meeting are a joke, so I'm going with a poster as well.
And it sounds like the first ever EUNF is on for the middle of a poster session. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I will not be there :) .
ReplyDeleteBut a fest with water is something I should enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there giving a dissertation talk. I guess that means I'd better graduate this year!
ReplyDeleteAndrew,
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to join the Nerd-Fest/shindig/dinner let us know. You'd be the first blog reader I will have met in person that I didn't already know.
Sounds good Nick. Joe has my email, so let me know when y'all are meeting up.
