It really does rain in Seattle, where the umpteenth mega annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society is underway...
Fun. Lots of schmoozing.
Technically I'm already done, "my" poster was up in session 10 on the first day. Yay.
Ok, I sub-let it to one of my students.
Another student gave a Dissertation talk this morning, went well.
A second speaks tomorrow afternoon - pressure's on, dood.
And the third speaks tuesday. Phew.
There's postdoc candidated to interview, talks to listen to, prospective students to cajole, and schmoozing.
Schmoozing, schmoozing, schmoozing.
That is the true purpose of these meetings, after the showing off of the student research and the networking for jobs - they're really for community socialization, and good stuff it is too.
Some interesting info was passed along, and deals made today.
Good, Long Day.
Swag is good this year also, nothing like 2000 PhDs going "ooh, blinking lights going wizz beep; Me Want One Too!".
