This week students have been working on their interviews - we now have data from 4! It has been difficult for the instructors to keep up while traveling, attending faculty meetings, and commencement, but we did have some great discussions about research and were certainly thinking about the lab!
We had our poster session on Wed. 7/27, it went well, but it wasn't until we were there that it occurred to us that students would not really be interested in our sampling method! Oh well, we did have some administrators and faculty come by and talk about it.
I thought that I might talk briefly about the importance of marketing your research, such as at poster sessions. If you are faculty it is important that others (i.e., administrators) be aware of your work - particularly if you want other faculty to have the opportunity to learn from your mistakes and successes. For students, faculty can provide some interesting ideas in a poster session, and it is great experience. For everyone wanting to be in research, it is important to get your name and abilities out their as a working researcher, there aren't many out there and you want to be counted as present!
