A HUGE thank you to Scicurious without whom I would not have
had this gig. It was unfortunate that she could not attend EB2013 and I was
pretty bummed that I wouldn’t get to visit with her while in Boston. But when
she realized she couldn’t make it, she somehow thought of my humble little
beginning-of-a-blog and recommended me to ASPET. Not only that, but she was the
best damn blogging mentor ever! She helped me prep for the meeting, gave me a
ton of tips and invaluable advice, and then took time out of her ridiculously
busy postdoc life to proof my posts and offer suggestions on my writing.
Seriously, Sci is one heck of a great person. Should I stop gushing now? It’s
hard because of how much I appreciate her help. Words don’t seem like enough.
ASPET also gets major props for taking the chance on me to
blog for the meeting! Everyone I met at ASPET was so helpful, welcoming, and
nice. Suzie Thompson and Gary Axelrod were especially great in setting
everything up and promoting my Twitter and blog. Gary retweeted my posts and
met up with me a couple of times during the meeting.
The conference blogging literally wouldn’t have been
successful without the science so another huge thank you to the researchers who
allowed me to blog their work! Their posters and talks were all fascinating!
Meeting up with them to learn more about what they do and why was really fun as
well.
Also, my readers. I love you guys. Thanks for reading,
retweeting, and sharing my posts!
Blogging a scientific meeting is a lot of work and it’s tiring
but it was definitely worth it. Thank you everyone!
Here’s a round-up of the posts from the meeting.
