Thanks so much! It's nice to see that history is proving the cynics wrong.

How to get your conference talk submission accepted

Great article and good reminders! I think it is easy to get sucked in by your research or discoveries in your abstract (while that thought nags you in the back of your mind that your writing needs to be relevant to your audience) that we can get paralyzed.
It is important to not only set out writing the abstract by answering these guiding questions, but to also revisit them throughout and at the end of the writing process.
