Putting Faces to Names

The annual meeting is the perfect place to finally meet the people who belong to the names in all of those papers that we read. In short, it's the place for networking. As graduate students, it is important that we get out there and meet our colleagues. This year, as in years past, there are many networking opportunities.

Last night, I attended committee meetings, where I met several people for the first time and saw a few old friends. Today, I had the pleasure of eating lunch with APS Foundation donors and Student Travel Award recipients. It was a great chance to mingle with "senior" APS members who are dedicated to supporting student travel and with student members who worked hard to be here.

Quebec City is a great location for discussing work or catching up with friends. The weather is nice, the atmosphere is friendly, and the food is delicious. (I highly recommend the "sugar pie" - a French-Canadian specialty.)
