Why Stu has a thing about conferences
This video may explain why Stu Cranstence has so many issues about conferences. In the video shot earlier this year you can clearly hear the scientists, some female, actually laughing at Stu’s presentation. He attempts his “CW” seminar but something goes terribly wrong with his diagram and he bolts from the conference room with the laughter of the scientists ringing in his ears. Since then he has been very touchy on the subject of conferences, but has recently agreed to attend further conferences in the hopes of being taken seriously by the scientific community.

I hope Ron is able to talk Dr. Cranstence into attending another conference. Surely it won’t be as dismal as the first. Perhaps he can stay away from charts this time.

Whether or not I attend another scientific conference is entirely up to me. The idea that an imbecile like my brother Ron could “talk me into” doing any thing would make me laugh if only I could stop puking. Kate, I will “stay away from charts ” when I feel like “staying away from charts”. “Perhaps” you could leave the making of judgements to MEN who actually know what they are talking about.
