The experience of this article was like going to a cocktail party at a friend's house, not knowing anyone but the host. And then you get there and your friend insists on giving you the tour of the house first and while you're looking at each room, overhearing fragments of interesting conversations, but the host insists on continuing the tour. You'd like to join the conversation about death or microbiology or "fake it til you make it" culture, but you get whisked into the next room. And then you get to the end of the tour and are told its time to go home.
I thought there would be cocktails. I would've liked more depth on almost any part of this.
