Going to Berlin?

One of my favorite things about doing this whole Ph.D thing is that I get to travel for my work whether it be visiting laboratories, conferences, or simply for PR work (ha). So far my work has taken me to Cocoa Beach (where I've been caught roaming the conference hotel with my surfboard in my wetsuit instead of a suit and tie), Los Angeles, Baltimore, Indy, Cincy, Nashville, Pittsburg, and now Rome. Since I'm in Rome I figure I'd try to take advantage of traveling for work here, too. So I submitted an abstract to make a presentation at the European Ceramics Society Conference in Berlin next June. I've been to Germany plenty of times but never to Berlin. So what better way to get to go than for a conference? I'm hoping the abstract gets accepted and if it really matters to you, I'm really excited about the work I want to present. I know it's been 3 months since I've been here but I figured it was time to actually post something work/school related.
