I survived!
 

so I survived the research conference.
It was actually quite a let down.

I wrote a program in python that models time allocation in nesting animals.

while speaking with a couple of judges I had the following exchange (supplemented for easier reading):

judge (english is not his first language - he had a heavy accent): if this is about animals, why does it only mention snakes?
me: uh...
judge: why snake?
me: what are you referring to?
<< he points at the area of my poster that indicates I wrote the program in python>>
me: python is a programming language

/facepalm
he got real huffy after that too.
