☕️ Scientists have confirmed a direct correlation between caffeine intake and survival during jam-packed conference schedules. 📊
#EESWildModels evidence:
🔬 3+ cups of coffee = increased poster session stamina
🧠 2 espresso shots = enhanced question-asking confidence
🚀 Cold brew = warp-speed networking
