I thought of this too. My name's not noticeable in the halls of plant
biology, but my thesis advisor's might get someone to come see my
poster. I know I often check "whose lab are they from" when trying to
decide which posters at a meeting I can make time to see in depth-there
are always more I'd like to see than I can do justice to, and those on
the periphery of my own research interests usually have to have some
kind of name recognition to make my list.
