May 16, 2017 at 4:34 comment added Fomite @aparente001 Several conferences I go to have a fairly strong industry presence where I take them as useful reminders to look up a particular product/company/etc. but where the reps there are not the people I'd talk to.
May 16, 2017 at 3:45 comment added aparente001 @Fomite - How do you manage to get twice as many back? Is it because you don't take enough of your own with you when you travel, and you run out?
Feb 2, 2013 at 1:38 comment added Fomite @JeffE And I hand out at least 10 per conference, and get about twice as many back.

Jan 31, 2013 at 4:39 comment added JeffE What's a "business card"? I don't think I've seen the object that used to go by that name in 20 years.

Jan 30, 2013 at 17:30 comment added mkennedy @gerrit, "All but dissertation", a US-specific acronym, from what I know.
Jan 30, 2013 at 16:46 comment added Paul Hiemstra ...bit off topic, but I would use LinkedIn as a means to connect and communicate. I've not seen many people in academia that have business cards, but that could be just me.
Jan 30, 2013 at 16:36 comment added F'x My advice (not specific to academia, hence not an answer per se): clear, minimalistic, stylish. Also: one-sided, because it's very useful to be able to write extra information on the back: either your cell phone (if not already on it), or a subtle reminder of why you left them your card “XYZ analysis technique”, … The information you need is: name, title, position, affiliation (and logo!), email, website, maybe cell phone. Nothing more.
