Taking a breather

astra_nomerThis conference has run me pretty ragged. And I'm not giving my talk until tomorrow morning.
And while there is an article on space.com quoting me, it's not like my phone is ringing off the hook with requests to interview me.
Tomorrow is the last day of the conference. And it's only a half-day. And my talk is pretty early in the morning. So I suspect half the people will have already left and the other half will show up late or miss my talk altogether. So at least I won't have to worry about a big audience to make me nervous.
The best part of conferences like this is seeing friends I've made at previous conferences and catching up with them. Does it count as networking if all the people I connect with are about the same age and career stage as me?
