Gotta be quick with this one, as I’m about to rush off to the next poster session. Here’s the next small set of photos from Bates College:
It’s going to be such a shame to leave summer for winter again tomorrow! What a fleeting trip.
P.S. However, the conference became even more useful as my poster was chosen for a talk. Hooray for getting to speak at an international conference! I threw some slides together last night after my name was announced and gave the talk this morning. Went well! Great commentary and feedback. So I go back to Australia with a slightly bigger head than it already may be :p

Okay so I’m here at the conference, and in my college dorm room! I don’t have much time so here’s some random thoughts and pictures. And random pictures with thoughts.
- Auburn / Lewiston has pretty interesting contrasts going on. On one hand, it’s what my taxi driver called a “welfare city”, with closed, run-down factories and houses. Conversely, because it’s such an old place and part of the New England area.. you’ll get an amazing church thrown in amongst the rubble.
Something like:
Which is literally surrounded by run-down old houses.
- On a more trivial note, though I feel it’s no less significant: People say beverage a lot. Not drink. Beverage. Which is a totally fine word to use, I guess, but is usually said with a smirk in Australia.
Phew, been needing to get that off my chest.
- Also, now I happen to be at a conference at a liberal arts college, I’m surrounded by beautiful women. One such woman who was on par with the rest until she lifted her arms and obviously hasn’t heard of a razor! I guess the art student stigma is true.
This is the dorm I’m staying in:
aaand here’s a couple of pics of the campus:
Okay, gotta rush off. Here are my latest 2 photo albums, for you to sift through at your leiiisure:
