1) Pack very little - basic science dudes are not into high fashion. Remember THEY ARE INTO MICE! Thus will NOT appreciate your cute shoes.
2) Pack hangers and blankets - I KNOW - who would have thought eh?
3) Make sure you have a good computer with a good battery so you can do other stuff (check e-mail, check facebook, correct patient reports or write blogs) while they talk about the mouse neuronal synaptic LTP (long term potentiation) and LTD (long term depression). Interesting I'll give, but only the first time!!
4) Bring a big towel to cover yourself - a big one! One that goes around ALL THE WAY. You will have to run across the shared hall to retrieve your soap, shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, etc.. a few times in in front of what at one time will likely be the entire Scientific Research Ethics Board of your University.
5) I do not want to repeat myself BUT - Bring a BIG towel to cover yourself. Again, one that goes around
ALL THE WAY. As I said, you will have to run across the shared hall to retrieve numerous forgotten items in front of what at one time will likely be the ENTIRE grant funding Committee and all members of the Pharmaceutical Company sponsoring your study.
6) DO not bring a hair dryer, MOST basic scientists wear ponytails, a sure sign they do not care that your bangs are a little off.
7) Needless to say - absolutely no need to pack make-up.
8) Pack lots of socks, it is completely acceptable attire to wear socks with sandals at these meetings.
