Today marks 3 years since the departmental retreat at which BH and I met. Our posters were opposite each other's and since we were both doing interdisciplinary work only peripherally related to everyone's favorite topic du jour, nobody came by to talk about our research. So we talked to each other instead...and the rest is history.I feel pretty fucking lucky to share my life with such a stellar guy. Three years may not seem like much, but I hope it's the beginning of many more to come. It is such a liberating experience to share your life with someone who is not always trying to change you. It sounds cliche but it really is the best thing ever to be with someone who loves you for being yourself. He just fits.Happy Anniversay BH - I love you.

People, I cannot believe that I have only just now happened upon the Better Posters blog. It is nothing short of The Bestest Thing Evah!!I am a huge huge stickler for good presentations. Content *and* style. It matters. Bad presentations make me itch. You don't like to give them and nobody else likes to see/listen to them.There are soooo sooooo many absolutely TERRIBLE posters out there. There is no one way to do it right, but there are so many more ways to do it wrong and it seems that a lot of people presenting at conferences are making a valiant attempt to try all the wrong ones first before they move on to something actually intelligible. Please don't be one of them.The next time you need to make a poster, spend a coupla hours perusing this blog first. You will be so glad that you did.I make pretty fucking good posters already, but there's always room for improvement so this one's going on the blogroll.
