To help with my back/hip problems and for mental health. I used to run but lately it’s been hard to mentally prep for running, so I sort of stopped. Walking is much more attainable of a goal for me now!
it keeps me sane and feeling healthy, i’m a smoker so i like to think that walking at least 10k steps a day is offsetting the damage i’m doing to myself
plus it’s just fun! i love exploring new places and feeling the sun/wind/rain etc on my face
Oh, you wanted me to do this enormous task in an impossible amount of time? No u didn’t :) I’m actually not gonna do that, and good luck finding someone who will :-)
Especially a smaller conference with your professional and academic peers where everyone else is as passionate about your niche nerdy topic as you are. People will be super cool and supportive and excited to hear what you’ve been up to. And in the best of cases you’ll get to hear good feedback from well established and respected scientists!
