Thanks for the interesting post on the STS conference. My favorite part of applying to grad school was the interview weekend, when all the applicants could sit around and just talk about their interests, points of view, and establish new connections. I met several good friends at those weekends. I’ll be sure to do that at conferences as well, given what you wrote.
