The conference was much more than I had hoped for, and benefited me in ways I wouldn't have thought. I learned a ton; most importantly, I opened my eyes to a whole range of research related to gamma-ray bursts. The best part was the people; almost everyone I met was friendly and encouraging. I loved meeting people from all over the world! At least four continents were represented (North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia), with possibly others from elsewhere. I got to know my Huntsville group much better as well. I am so grateful for the opportunities I've been given and for those who have given them to me. I don't know if I'll ever be able to thank them enough!
