Desperately craving a scientific conference social evening. I want to pack into a pub with dozens of other nerds. I want to trade funny stories with you. Shout at you over noise that "loved your talk.. I said I LOVED it! yeah so interesting!"
I want to buy the pitcher while the grad students are distracted. I want to have one more pint than I planned to, and the next morning drink four more coffees than I ought to. i want to scribble notes and citations all day. I want to overuse the conference hashtag
I want to be in agony because my good friend is speaking opposite my hero. I want to have a Burning Question. I want to start a conversation with "have you thought about??"
I want to introduce you to another friend of mine who does related stuff, you'll LOVE their work
I want to introduce you to another friend of mine who does related stuff, you'll LOVE their work
I want to shake your hand
