jayTired. I pushed hard today... never had lunch. Finished my poster this morning, dropped it off for printing, went to the conference. Left the conference, went ice skating for a half hour (hence no lunch), stopped by to fix a Mac-PC file incompatibility at the printer's, back to the conference. Where one of my figures was being projected on the screen as I walked in... another author was referencing my stuff in his paper.
I suppose that means I've arrived, here... I do feel much more at ease in the impact crater and planetary communities than 5 years ago. Instead of being overtly pleased to be referenced, I thought instead "I could have answered those questions better than this guy." I still don't think there's a buried peak ring at the bottom of Haughton Crater. Now we have a disagreement... I think I have better data.
Left the conference, picked up the poster, rushed back across town to post it, then backtracked again for a dinner meeting with the CRREL drilling project guys at Frenchies. Then back again (4th time today) to the conference site for the poster session. Which went well... it was crowded. I think that posters are harder than oral presentations... they require editing skills and standing around talking/arguing with passersby for 2 hours, rather than boing-15-minutes-and-done.
Tomorrow... conference in the morning, then fly home.
