One benefit for MRS meeting is for materials scientists and students to meet each other, and establish social network. I found another benefit of it, that is besides getting to know new colleagues, we also know our group members better.
Every year when we travel to Boston meeting we spend a lot of time together, much more than we are in the lab. And today, we gather together in PF Chiang and had a wonderful group dinner.
Graduate students, post docs and professors, we are a busy group of people. And I guess this is one of the reason why scientists like physical meeting so much.
