For my last post on the MRS blog, I want to thank MRS for this opportunity as well as my fellow bloggers and tweeters. The meeting was very informative and loads of fun, and being able to interact with everyone through the blog and twitter made it even better. This was a great chance to attend the conference but view it from a new perspective. I hope the other bloggers enjoyed posting as much as I did and I hope the readers were able to gain from what we wrote. I am excited for the potential of these activities to change the way attendees experience MRS, especially as the popularity of twitter and blogging expands within the materials community.
As a farewell, I would like to offer up another challenge to you the reader. With the explosion of social media, there is a lot of emphasis on interaction with other people. As a materials scientists, I feel there has to be some form of pun or joke involving van der Waals interactions. After a week at MRS, my brain needs a bit of rest, but I challenge you to find this pun/joke. All of the talks this week touched on the importance of materials science in the world today, don't forget about the importance of fun in materials science. Embrace your inner nerd!
