When I was starting as a student in a different experiment, I was at a collaboration meeting. I was going to every session there was. One of them was essentially a private session for high-level people, but I didn’t know that. I went in and sat at the table. The spokesperson arrived late, and the table was full at that point, so he had to lean on the window. I could see people looking at me, but the meeting goes on. Two hours into the meeting, I got asked, ‘Who are you?’
‘I’m a new Ph.D. student.’
‘You know this is private?’
‘Oh … I can leave.’
‘That would be appreciated.’
While leaving I could hear the room laughing about what just happened.
