A complete review on the SfN Conference of 2010. By: Keri Mans, Ph.D., Age 29, Scientist.

We had a great time in San Diego.  As promised, here is a pretty thorough review of all the goings-on.

The first day of the meeting is always crowded and overwhelming.
You know they are all scientists by their fabulous fashion sense (me included).


Drinks are usually needed immediately, resulting in some compromising situations.


There are tons of amaze-balls food choices right near the conference center.



During the poster sessions, we kept vigilant watch to prevent recording devices.
Wouldn't want that presh data getting stolen.

If you get tired, there's plenty of seating on the floor 
around the perimeter of the convention center.

If you are lucky, you might learn 
that you can't be siamese twins with your friend 
whose hair is a different color.
And also that cabbies won't let 5 people in a cab--
even if two of them are siamese twins.

After 5 straight days of science, we simply wanted out.
Mostly for more drinks.

In the end, everyone was energized to get back to the lab
to try out their new ideas!


Great conference, let's do it again next year!

**Thanks to Abby for letting me steal photos of people, since all I really took were photos of animals.**
