今年在美國加州的國際線蟲會議由Ping帶領碩士班二年級學生Ching-Wen及博士班三年級學生Ching-Han參加！

Ching-Wen：

參加此次會議，學習到許多新的技術，來自世界各地的科學家也能藉此機會，彼此交流。另外，會議的形式新穎，有著不同主題的演講可以聆聽，科學家可依自己研究的需求或喜好，選擇想要參與的演講。

Poster session 進行時有龐大數量的海報，必定能找到自己有興趣的內容。另外，張貼海報時，得到許多有用的建議，引導我更近一步的思考，獲益良多。

最後，此次會議讓我深深覺得必須更精進自己的英文能力，才能理解講者演說的內容。不過，可以在大會中分享自己的研究成果，感到非常的開心，不但能夠訓練英文溝通能力，還能得到聽眾的讚美與回饋，非常有助於自己的研究，以及自信心的建立。

Ching-Han：

This was my second times to attend International worm meeting, and I was lucky to be selected to give a talk in the cell biology section. I presented our work on the fourth day of the conference, and people were interested in our study. By discussing with several people, it is really helpful to push the project to the next level. Moreover, it is encouraging to a young scientist, like me, that people are excited and appreciate about your finding.

Overall, I think that attending the conference is rewarded. We learned the latest technique in the field and communicated with people to share our study and get feedback. Moreover, we built connections with scientists in the world, and it will help to have further collaborations to speed up the research.
