Barriers to participating in the research community post-PhD

By the end of the summer I will finally, after many flights, bus rides, moves, milestones, and hour upon hour of writing and editing, have submitted my PhD. With this prospect comes thoughts of the future. I’ve been lucky enough that I’ve been able to attend so many conferences, training Read more…

Addressing wearing dresses at conferences

Last year, ErrantScience wrote a post called What to wear to an academic conference. It gives lots of tips about what to expect at your first conference, and what clothes to pack. It’s super helpful. But, unfortunately for us ladies, or indeed for anyone who enjoys wearing things other than trousers, on Read more…

Diary of a conference attendee – day five, hungover and home

My plan to head out for a fancy dinner and drink Austrian wine was an excellent one. Drinking as much Austrian wine as I did was excellent at the time but a whole bunch less excellent this morning. 06:40 – On the one hand changing my alarm form the birdsong Read more…

Diary of a conference attendee – day four, pico talks and bowties

As I wrote yesterday I had nothing planned for my evening and I enjoyed a very nice Spar bagel in my room while watching Netflix. I’m not going to lie, it was amazing! But that was my one relaxing day in the middle of EGU conference madness. 07:45 – I woke Read more…

Diary of a conference attendee – day three, taking a break

Yesterday I decided to bail on the 19:00 till 20:00 talk. Turns out trying to do a 12hr stint at a conference is a little bit exhausting. So instead of late night conferencing I sat in the now blissfuly quiet media room, drank coke and wrote up some notes from the Read more…

Diary of a conference attendee – day two, badges and a badger

Last night I learnt two things. That firstly in Vienna I can get amazing tacos and secondly Austrian Netflix has a great selection of movies that I can’t get on UK Netflix. These are the important things to discover when away on a conference. 06:40 – Seeing as I spent a Read more…

Diary of a conference attendee – day one, coffee and impostor syndrome

Hotel beds are a special kind of bed that are strangely comfortable when you first lie on them but progressively less comfortable the longer you lie on them. This means that my first day of EGU has not started well. 06:40 – Beepy noises are loud and unpleasant and should Read more…

The story of anxiously having anxiety at conferences

In the not too distant past, I hated conferences. To me they were awkward and would entail me feeling anxious and stressed for days beforehand. I understood why I had to go to them and that they existed for a good reason, but I really, really, really didn’t want to go Read more…
