Rock Conference!!
Oct. 27th, 2010 12:19 pmNo, not the musical kind of rock. Rock rocks! \o/
Since I'm a Super Geochemist, I am presenting at the Geological Society of America (GSA) Annual Meeting in Denver, CO next week. The conference runs from Oct 30 - Nov 3, but I'm going up early for a short course. While I've presented before at conferences, they were just tiny things with only 1 session running at a time. At this conference, they have 156 sessions running over the meeting, and each session is generally 1.5-2 hours long, filled up with presentations. There is a lot going on here, and so many geologist in one place.
While I'm super excited to go, I'm also terrified. I mean, in a small conference, you get to know the people there and presenting isn't as intimidating (for me). With so many people there, who knows who will be in the audience and what kind of questions they'll ask. They could grill me over an open flame! ACK! Mostly, though, it'll be nice to present my research and maybe get other peoples perspective and insight on my project.
Only question is: what do I dress up as for Halloween?!
