Portlandia II

It is amazing to see the efforts and sacrifices of people to pursue their dreams and investigations. The amount of work that they put in their research is incredible and only they now the painstaking process and frustration that they have to overcome. I have met people from different places and it motivates me to keep on working on my sciences. Sometimes I feel that I am not in love enough of my career but today I look to everyone at the conference and I think im in love enough to be a a geologist. Although this meeting is for anthropologists and I feel slightly like an outcast, I really appreciate the science behind it even when it gets very complex and I am not sure what they r talking about. However, the speakers are very generous and nice and explain very well their work to people that are not familiar with it. That is science, it is simple. If a person speaks to you about their research an that person is not able to put it in context or give you the importance in normal words, they fail as scientists. I don't think science should be complicated since science is from people for people.
