In case you didn't know, Poster Day is a day that interns and researchers at the NIH get to show off a project that they have been working on. Some of these posters show medical or psychological research that can lead to some monumental findings. Some might show how far a study has progressed and where it needs improvement. Finally, some are presented in a manner, that's just way over my head. I prefer to think of it as those particular posters as concentrating on an aspect so minute and narrow, that the researchers have virtually lost sight of the big picture, and to tell you the truth, some of the interns presenting them have might have lost sight as well.

Regardless, I decided to show support for my fellow researchers, and more importantly, provide some moral support for my CFR buddies who were presenting.
