Meeting excellent people, traveling, and (in general) bending my brain around interesting new ideas.
If I had to do it again, I would take advantage of more opportunities to meet others in my field at conferences, lectures, etc. In hind sight, there is a lot of value in keeping close tabs on current work in your field of interest, having a sense of future directions of that work, and knowing who/which institutions are involved. It was very easy to get absorbed in the day-to-day tasks of school work and personal research.
Keep an eye on the big picture and an end goal.
I currently have no images uploaded.
