National chem conference Denver 2015 vs San Diego 2019: accidentally wore almost the exact same outfit (surprised the skirt still fit!) went from presenting a poster to giving a talk. Went to about the same number of talks, but understood them 2000% more this time. Got to reunite with people and meet even more new ones :) perspective has changed to value smaller conferences over these large ones, but still had a great time! What a great end to the traveling season.
