Thank you! This is really very helpful, especially the tip about skipping some talks. I tend to attend the whole event because I feel like it is required. But you are right, it is better to rest and conserve energy for the talks which are more important to me.
Thank you for these advice. I am going to attend my first international conference as a Ph.D. holder in August. Somehow I feel a bit more nervous than when I was a Ph.D. candidate. I understand your feelings. I haven't meet my family since I moved in to Japan in 2016. Hopefully I can meet them again this Christmas. Cheers!!!
Hi Vitor, I am glad you enjoyed my advice! Enjoy your conference experience, I know Japan is strict with all the pandemic restrictions too, I hope you will see you family very soon! Feel free to let me know how your conference go, I read all messages on comments and inbox of Twitter/IG/FB.
How exciting! I remember I was thrilled to meet the big name professors it was like going to "Disneyland" for a young scientist. If you are presenting a PPT, check out the last two videos with more tips on scientific presentation (th-cam.com/video/xTfyJ1YsgB4/w-d-xo.html) and PPT style (th-cam.com/video/zJuuS6koyrs/w-d-xo.html). Let me know how it goes :)
These are from the infamous PhD Comics, yes I guess I am _slightly older_ . Back in Postdoc, we would book the University theater to watch this as a social event. You can support this movie here (not sponsored!): phdmovie.com/

I remind myself, "one cannot pour from an empty cup". Taking rest is an important part of taking care of that "social battery"!
The t shirt neckpillow idea is top!!
