posters!

so today was the day jen and i got to present our posters :) the poster session is 2 hours long, with the odd-numbered posters presenting for the 1st hour and the evens for the 2nd hour. people wander around looking at posters that interest them and you get to walk them through your project and answer their questions. i was supposed to present for the 2nd hour but went over to my poster at the beginning to put my coat down. there were a couple guys looking it over so i started answering their questions. after that i had a steady stream of people almost the whole 2 hours! it's so fun to be able to share what i study and feel legit enough to talk about it with scientists from all over the world. today i made friends with people from india, germany, spain, columbia, and denmark! (haha funny aside....i couldn't remember the name "denmark" for a few minutes there...i had to ask jen what the country was called that speaks danish...and she just gave me the look that means i'm challenged...haha awesome) anyway! it was good times. This was an interesting project to present because i actually didn't do any of the experiments! they were done back in the year 2000 when i was thirteen years old :) then i was the one who analyzed all the experiments before my mission. i even blogged about this project here and here. now years later, i'm finally presenting the data! haha.
