One small step for most scientists...

...One giant leap for me.

Tomorrow marks the first day in a total of 4 in another milestone in my life as a scientist.  Early this summer my mentor decided I was competent enough to partake in my first academic conference.  Tomorrow I fly to Philadelphia, PA to spend 4 days with professional scientists from around the country to discuss Tumor Metastasis and the Microenvironment. And as an added perk I get to present a poster discussing all of the important work I've been doing.  I included a little snap shot for you below. Just note that in actuality its about 4 feet x 4 feet.  Let me know if you don't understand anything.  I'd be happy to explain it!
