Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 132: I didn't say that

　　The MRS Autumn Meeting was held as scheduled in the fourth week of November.

　　Generally, the meeting lasts at least a week, occasionally extending into the tenth day.

　　As for this time, the situation was a bit different.

　　With the lithium dendrite problem properly solved, papers on lithium battery-related concepts have shown a spurt of growth during this period of time, and along with photovoltaic materials, the number of papers related to new energy has also seen varying degrees of growth.

　　Many research institutes that had already made reports in the spring meeting even changed a few things that had been reported before, and apply for an oral presentation, so much so that the organisers had to extend the meeting time to twelve days.

　　As for Orion's presentation, it was scheduled for the next morning.

　　Having just arrived in Boston, he didn't have any special arrangements today, so he planned to walk around the area. In the meantime, he would listen to a few presentations and get familiar with the style of giving presentations here.

　　Putting his luggage by the bedside, Orion then headed downstairs to the conference centre, which was not far from the hotel.

　　In terms of size, the MRS conference was just too big, not even on the same scale as a conference in the maths world.

　　Dozens of venues, hundreds of topics, and thousands or even tens of thousands of conference attendees.

　　At this time of year, the hotels and guesthouses near the conference venues are unusually crowded. Because most people are self-funded to participate in the conference, for this part of the people organisers obviously can not be responsible for solving the accommodation.

　　Formally speaking, the MRS conference is not much different from the Federal Mathematical Society's conference in Princeton.

　　Each session is divided into two parts: oral presentations and poster sessions.

　　The former is usually done by the big wigs, with many high quality papers and presentations. This part is not only the highlight of the conference, but also the "battlefield" of MIT, Harvard, Cornell and other powerful institutions.

　　Especially when it comes to some popular and cutting-edge fields, the discussion is usually very "intense", and you should not be surprised if there is a body clash.

　　As for the latter, the threshold is relatively low, as long as the paper submitted to the conference is good, even if you can't get an oral presentation, you can usually get a poster booth for the corresponding topic.

　　However, it is also for this reason that this area is relatively mixed, there are those with high level but lack of opportunities, and there are also the legendary "PPT entrepreneurs". Perhaps because of the low level of interest here, people were more enthusiastic when discussing issues, but in general they were quite restrained.

　　Walking through the centre of the venue, Orion looked around and noticed that people were behaving in a friendly manner so far, walking in twos and threes, taking photos, talking and laughing. ......

　　All in all, it wasn't as exaggerated as Professor Chirik had described.

　　Orion was sort of relieved to see this.

　　However, to be on the safe side, he still brought the "watch" rewarded by the system with him.

　　Even if it was probably not going to be used.
