> Hey Dr. Bob, only *you* know how these APA seminars go. You've been to a few haven't you? You probably have some idea of how the pdocs there treat people. Can you tell us whether or not it is likely that they will start attacking us and making us feel bad? Do you think they will be confrontational and not care?

> DenebIt isn't likely that you will be attacked in any way. If any pdoc is going to bring up any objections, it will be directed towards Dr. Bob. You will act more like a living presentation at the meeting. Instead of using a powerpoint the entire time to lecture the pdocs on the subject, you will be used as the teaching tool. The pdocs will be there to learn and listen to you, not attack you. I can't gaurantee that you won't get a question or two that might be uncomfortable for you to answer, but you can always just let them know you don't want to answer. I HIGHLY doubt anyone will pressure or confront you.
