Treading out of your area of expertise can be enriching. 

I am currently in my native Córdoba, Argentina at the VIII Congreso Internacional de la Lengua Española. The conference website can be found here.

The event is packed with amazing lectures by leading academics and writers from the Americas and Spain on the Spanish language, history, culture and current events.

Spanish is spoken as a primary language by greater than 430 million people, making it the second largest language in the world, one that is both unified yet varied across the diversity of its reach. Spanish is only surpassed by Chinese in usage.

It is a great pleasure to be in attendance, particularly to broaden my horizons at a conference that is most unlike my infectious diseases engagements.

Hasta pronto.
