A Cajun-style meeting

摘要

As a child growing up in Texas I used to spend my summers outdoors, sometimes plodding through creeks hunting for crayfish. I ate fried crayfish recently when I attended the annual meeting for the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in New Orleans. It reminded me of my childhood even as I pondered my future.rnThe meeting represented a milestone for me. For the first time, I gave an oral presentation in addition to presenting a poster. I was both excited and anxious.
