\"conference\"<\/a>Do you feel confused or puzzled when you are facing bunches of conferences or seminars? Katharine from University of Kentucky has some good points on that. In the article,\u00a0Weekend Getaway Guide: \u00a0A Mathematics Research Conference,<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>she thought one should\u00a0start attending math\u00a0conferences early in the mathematical career,\u00a0and attend them on a regular basis. That will help you to begin\u00a0to build a network of colleagues in your research\u00a0area. This network can have a profound influence\u00a0on your entire mathematical career. In my view, this article is a good “travel guide” for young mathematician or PhD candidates. This article is separated into 4 sections: a) Where Should I Go? Choosing A Conference to Attend? b) What Should I Pack? Things to Do before You Attend a Conference c)\u00a0What Should I Do while I\u2019m There? Maximizing\u00a0Your Time at a Conference d)\u00a0What Souvenirs Should I Bring Back from the\u00a0Trip? Things to Do When You Return from a\u00a0Conference. As you can see, it’s in detail and very specific. Some suggestions like “After you return from a conference and catch up\u00a0on some sleep, take the time to organize everything\u00a0that you collected from the meeting. If you gave a\u00a0contributed talk, add the talk to your CV. Save a\u00a0copy of the program in which your name is printed,\u00a0and keep this in a folder dedicated to materials of\u00a0this type. If there were unanswered questions from\u00a0your talk, you should try to find an answer and,\u00a0if possible, send an email to whomever posed the\u00a0question. If there was a preprint that interested\u00a0you, download the paper from the arXiv or email\u00a0the author for a copy. Read or file these documents\u00a0where you can refer to them later. Finally, you\u00a0should send a short email thanking the organizers\u00a0and take care of any reimbursement paperwork.” are very important and precious. However, I still feel confused about maximizing the time at a conference. Katharine suggested readers to go to talk with some senior researchers and renown professors. According to me experience, I think it’s much easier to talk with other graduate students. The attempt to talk with senior researchers are always hard and need a lot techniques. Do you have some ideas about that? Please share with us.<\/p>\n
