I came to BIRS for a five day workshop. It was an intense time, and I'm still processing all the information learned. I had a lot of interesting conversations and got started on several beautiful problems. The real impacts of the workshop will probably take months or years to show, but I can already say that I'm very happy I've attended. On the job front, meeting people is always helpful. In particular, I have had the opportunity to meet one person who could offer me a postdoc at a prestigious institution, but the outcome of my application is unclear as of now.
