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…

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 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…

Announcement: Daily EGU journal

This week I have reached new depths of impostor syndrome and the week has barely even started yet. I have never felt so utterly unqualified to be somewhere. The somewhere in question is The European Geosciences Union general assembly (or EGU). This mega conference (~14,000 attendees) is held annually, featuring Read more…

Guest Post : A First Timer’s Trip to EGU

I suppose the first thing to do is actually tell you what EGU is. EGU stands for European Geosciences Union (the parties are legendary), and it was formed in 2002. They hold an annual conference in Vienna, Austria; and pretty much every gorram person on the planet attends. At least, Read more…
