pony up

So, that dearth of acceptances has now become a spate of panel sessions and, travel prices being what they are and my family situation being what it is, I find that conference attendance is a bit of a hardship. I've used my fellowship allowance and am applying for an ASA travel grant. Any other money out there, folks? Let me know, woulddya? No award is too small!

Maybe someday I'll be on the tenure track and I'll have a faculty development fund that pays for my conference attendance. Maybe sometime after that I'll be tenured and attend conferences for the heck of it or not at all.

Start doing health research and, after awhile, people might even start paying you every once in awhile to come to conferences.
