PSA Conference Travel Award Report
PSA Conference Travel Award Report
Last March 2013, I was awarded a PSA
Conference Travel Award to attend the ‘National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
Mitochondrial Biology Symposium 2013’, in Washington DC, USA and present my
work on RNA Processing in Human
Mitochondria. As a PhD student in the last year of this graduate journey,
this was a fantastic opportunity and I am grateful to the PSA for contributing
towards my travel expenses. Attending the conference opened my eyes to a world
of research in my field that I could have never encountered in local or
national conferences, as the mitochondrial research field is still in its early
stages in Australia. I was able to chat with some of the world experts in my
area of research and I even felt confident enough to question some of the
results presented. The presentations I attended were of great quality and also
provided me with some ideas for experiments for my own project. Finally, I had
the opportunity to visit Washington DC, which I found surprisingly clean,
multicultural and interesting, with a multitude of museums and art galleries.
Tulips were blossoming all around the city, welcoming spring and although I had
a vague sense of being constantly watched, as security is obviously tight all
around the city, I would recommend a trip to anyone.
Thanks PSA for making my trip possible!
