摘要:
During one of our breakfasts several years ago, Barb revealed what felt like a dirty secret: I don't feel comfortable at academic research conferences anymore. We both felt that way, but were nonetheless shocked to have it out on the table. When we were academics-Heidi as a postdoc and a short stint as a research professor, Barb through tenure and beyond-small research conferences were our intellectual home. They were where we presented our data, learned about the newest discoveries in our fields, and explored new directions for our work. We met people with shared interests who might become lifelong colleagues and friends. But with our transition to the nonprofit policy world, we lost that home.
