Thanks i come to know a lot about our steem stem community. Previously i was thinking that all of you guys will be such people like Einstein, who only focus on their work,. But glad to see that with your mind-blowing work, you guys are also love to make and have fun.
The only thing i not agree with your article is:

After putting up with some of my boring talks (I am known to be a super boring person), we moved on to meet the whole lot.

Really, from my talks with you i found you a very interesting man. A person who knows a lot of science and always ready for help newbie and mad people like me...
