because perfection isn’t easy
This is exactly how I feel right now. After tonight, I do not want to read or hear about organic insecticides for six months.
Surprisingly, hitting my head with the book has made my head feel so much better. Maybe it will become a new form of therapy. Brings another meaning to the word “headbanging”.
This year, Colby-Sawyer College hosted the Eastern New England Biology Conference, an annual conference in which students from participating universities present their research. It was a splendid day for a splendid conference. The keynote speaker, David, Carroll, was a very entertaining fellow who introduced us on the ecology of spotted and wood turtles. The student presentations were captivating (and enlightening!) Many thanks to the members of the Biology Club here at CSC contributed their efforts, and to members of the faculty (Go, Bonnie!) who helped to put this conference together.
Since I love pictures, here are quite a few for perusal:
On the left are two of the student presenters from CSC. On the right is a faculty member of the natural sciences department at CSC.
Here is a shot of the keynote speaker, David Carroll, on the left, conversing with a visiting faculty member on the right.
This is another CSC student presenter. Yes, he is always this silly.
This CSC student is not a presenter, but has helped out to put this conference together.
Right after lunch, was the poster presentation session. I greatly enjoyed the posters, because I could speak one-on-one with the presenter about his or her research. And I got plenty of pictures, too ..
I apologise for not getting pictures of everyone. I would have loved to get shots of everyone involved, but they were all busy presenting or running the conference! This has been a wonderful experience for me. I speaking with the presenters about their research. I hope that the conference has been just as pleasant for others.
