i was partner with a lab partner while i was in undergrad bio lab class, basically she went to all these talks or conferences 10+years ago. too bad she was a terrible lab partner, as she would use this against me why she wouldnt help in this GROUP project we were doing at the time. that just gave me awful feeling about the industry as a whole, are people this concerned about thier reputation that they are willing to sabotage thier lab partners
