    I want to write something here about the best conference catering ever, but it would probably dox me, so I won’t.

    Same with tech conferences. Find me at the breakfast and lunch buffets, and maybe scouring the vendor booths for some free socks and shirts.

    You gotta hit up those conferences that have some clinical backing. Straight up chemistry conferences…ehhh. But if there’s a clinical portion, buffets, nice dinners, swag as the youth used to call it.

    Don’t know about you, but buffet is a terrible way of eating.

    I much prefer those conferences where a meal in a restaurant is offered and then everyone gets drunk and young researchers end up talking about their posters at 4 in the morning in a night club.
