help writing a fictional story
hello! i am writing a story with a scene set at a physics research conference but never been to one. i want it to feel as realistic as possible w/o being movie-ish. one of my characters is a researcher presenting there, and the other is his partner who’s not in the field.
imd really appreciate help with details like these:
* what is the atmosphere like
* how do researchers interact socially
* what presenting/research discussions are like
* conference etiquette/culture
* what are some things that immediately feel inaccurate in fiction
i also need help deciding which physics field for my character to specialize in. i’m thinking partical physics? the scene is meant to be fairly grounded and not exaggerated sci-fi. even small details or personal experiences would help a ton.
thank you so much.
