Cameron Recommends 4 and other breaking news



So here is some news and events from the last week, along with another Cameron Recommends.

I spent over 20 hours on a poster presentation for the Intermountain Graduate Research Symposium.  I was really proud of the poster, it looked great.  One week before the conference I got an email that informed me that my poster abstract was among 8 finalists for outstanding abstract.  I was ecstatic, I thought to myself "Self, you have a really good poster, maybe you could win two prizes at this thing.  That would great on a CV."
But to my disappointment, I discovered that the abstract awards were the only ones they were giving out.  So that means that out of 80+ posters presented, the only awards available were for best abstract, and only three of those people would actually get the award.

So I spent 20+ hours on a poster that didn't even get judged.  The good news is that I won the best abstract award and got a new 2GB iPod Shuffle.  Bad news, I already have one.  Anybody interested?

So now for the Recommends section.  With it being Easter this week, Cameron recommends: Cadbury Eggs. Simply put they are the best Easter candy ever, period.  So good.  I love them.  That's it for me today guys, thanks for reading and leave a comment (especially if you want the shuffle).
