Poster Presentation

I am proud to say I finished the poster in time for the conference.

I felt a bit disappointed about the presentation of the poster. Logistics wise, they had placed the posters away from the main venue of the conference so not a lot of people were able to see them or comment on them. The day and time they scheduled the poster sessions was also inconvenient and it was slated at an odd time so we only had a few people who went. I tried to pimp my work to the people I met and I think that might have helped but unfortunately I did not get a lot of feedback or comments ... I guess that means my work sucks! Just need to try better next time ...

Project 365: Day 47

I am currently reading this book in my free time. You could say it's still related to my research because it focuses on a personal migration history to America. I am still reading Part I which recounts rural life, childhood memories, innocence lost and dreams of a better life somewhere else. Just reading this part has so far pained me. I feel the  hardship of the family ... their experience resonates the experience of the rural poor, of many more like them who are struggling with the injustices and large divide between the rich and poor, between urban and rural, between colonizer and colony, and even between ethnic groups.
