<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if I’m not the only one receiving way too many invitations to speak at conferences – wait – on subjects ranging from welding, pathology, genetics, electronics, immunology, etc.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a little disappointed the subjects are not RDM, animal welfare in research, research posters or even squirrel behavior and chemical ecology (my MS-PhD work)!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is anyone else plagued by these requests and do you have any idea which list is causing it?<u></u><u></u></p>
