> I was there for a professional conference to present 2 posters on some work a professor and I did. I hung them up and mostly avoided them otherwise.. I didnt want to be asked any questions by these MD/PhD people that I knew I'd never be able to answer. The presentation was more for my advisor, who is disabled and unable to travel, than for me anyway. This is her thing, not mine.
You might have been surprised by how much you actually know. In grad school I sometimes made a pest of myself at poster sessions by provoking conversations between underconfident grad students and other conference attendees, and they've always discovered that they actually do know more about work they participated in than many people folks they find intimidating.
I'm glad you had a nice respite... I should try that sometimes. And I'm also glad you posted pictures of yourself - you're super-cute! :)
