A week from now, almost to the hour, I have to be at the airport to catch my flight to Baltimore for the BMES conference. 24hrs after that I will be giving a 15 minute presentation on the effects of exercise on the subsequent in vitro behavior of bone marrow stromal cells. This wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that my advisor requested I submit the abstract at a time when I didn’t have the clearest data (but it suggested trends I could clarify with more work). Now I have more data, and it contradicts the old data almost as much as it supports it. As you can imagine, this makes presenting a strong, clear story somewhat difficult. Sure, lots of published literature is seemingly contradictary to other published work, but at least each article is self-consistent…

I need to somehow find a pair of pumps that don’t hurt my feet. Conferences and presentations -> essentially the only events that give researchers cause to dress up.
