What's your experience with academic conferences?
I'm currently at my third one and I've found that they all have a lot in common, mainly:
An over abundance of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean presenters who are obviously intelligent and have come up with some valid research but are too autistic to convey any of it. Apart from terrible English, they are unable to respond to any questions from the audience because it's not written down on paper for them. They often read word for word what's on their slides at a gruelling pace, yet are unable to convey the gist of their research or deliver it in a way that makes sense for those who don't study that particular field.
What's /sci/'s experience with working with Asians in general, in scientific or research type work?

It's probably because 75% of them have someone else take the qualifying English exam for grad school and as a result, they've found themselves in a society they can't effectively communicate in. Aka why all Asian professors research partners are back at Peking university
