The conference, day two

Yesterday afternoon there was a diffusion tensor imaging workshop as part of the conference, which was really useful for me, as that is the MRI modality I will be using throughout the PhD. It was valuable to know what’s going on in the world of MRI, and to speak to some of the people whose research papers I’m reading every day. I’m lucky in that respect because the postdoc we’re with is a bit of an imaging legend who has done important work and seems to know almost everyone. He was quite blunt during today’s parallel imaging session though, questioning the usefulness of the research done by a speaker and calling his signal-to-noise ratio “cr*p”!

What was your first conference/public speaking experience like?
