This summer, I went to the Ecological Society of America’s annual meeting in Milwaukee.  After spending most of my summer at KBS near the small town of Hickory Corners, it was nice to be in a city for a few days.

The conference was great.  I learned a lot of ecology, met tons of cool scientists (including the incredible Aspiring Ecologist) who gave me great ideas for my research, explored the best used bookstore I’ve ever seen, went swing dancing, and made up for two months without Thai food.
