Trip across California - the academic part

The second part of my trip across California is all about academic stuff. I had the honour to be a guest at UC Irvine last week. In that week I was worked in the Lab for Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction, gave a presentation there, and met great and very supportive people working on similar research.

This week I am at a conference for computer-supported cooperative work, one of the top conferences in my area of research. Yesterday, I took part in a workshop for doctoral students, and Tuesday will be my first talk at such a big conference - please keep your fingers crossed for me. The photo shows the view from my hotel room - the environment is just gorgeous. I went to the zoo today, but now I'm working on my slides again, although I know that I will never feel perfectly prepared.
