lately i’ve been sending “cultural observations” to my friends (stories about people i observe on the train mostly) and it’s so much easier to get my point across in a voice memo. i love to send one immediately after something occurs and not worry about the people around me hearing
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!
