Dear Diary,
Then we broke out into parallel sessions where each speaker gets 10
minutes of time and two minutes of questions. I sat through some
astronomy presentations given by a student from my undergraduate
institution. He did well. I also saw some rock solid physics from
other places including where I did my Master's. I don't like
transitioning between rooms too frequently because I don't like
disrupting the talks, but I left once the jargon got thick. So, I
camped out the material's physics room.
It's my turn to
speak! In retrospect, I probably put too much into the slides and this
made me go too fast, but I was on time and expressed the points that I
wanted to make. Unfortunately, I got no questions. There is a prize
for best speaking at this conference, but I'm content to just present
good work and see what other people are doing.
I even
saw some DFT talks! I'll have to translate my notes to report back to
the group later. After the parallel sessions, I headed to dinner and
got to talk with a lot of professors from CSU Long Beach and CSU
Fresno. A professor from Cal Poly even said hello!
