Tricks to surviving a big academic conference: ▪️Avoid any rest to maximise effects of jet lag ▪️Massively overprepare for your unattended morning panel ▪️Feeling dehydrated? Drink more coffee ▪️Take detailed notes and never consult them again
@NC_Renic My blueprint for every conference I’ve been to… And don’t forget to wait until the very last minute to finish any presentations (preferably the night/morning before if they haven’t forced you to upload in advance)
@NC_Renic Ask everyone their name only to forget by next year
@NC_Renic -Continue to overprepare. I rehearsed my argument with the people manning the left luggage. They were so encouraging. And there is always the audio guy. -Go to the free drink & ask solos boldly "Who do you want to meet", Introduce the-doesn't matter you haven't met them before
@NC_Renic Will follow in toto
