Don’t get the problem. Professor picks conference, grad student submits paper and professor’s group pays the trip. Isn’t that how it’s done? I always enjoyed those conferences.
If it’s a good lab group yeah in bad lab groups the student is frequently footing the bill.
We always footed the bill (student discount rates though!). And now that I’m the professor, I don’t have that kinda money or support to foot the bill.
Wtf. I mean, no judging, I get it. But that’s not how it should be. Aren’t there parts of grants allocated for that, most grants I was involved with had those sections.

I don’t know what the opposite of magic is, but SQL Server is that.

I guess curses count as magic, too
There’s a raunchy manga that just came out where the magic is based on SQL somehow.
*Actually it’s a fan made re-release: My Ideal Life in Another World ~Perfected Fan Edition~ TOTALLY NSFW but I literally stayed for the plot.
If they’re good at SQL, it’s magic yeah
Or are they? Look behind your ear - tada! A magicians guild membership card with their name on it!
I guess is more data oriented than SQL Server alone no? Like I don’t quite have in my mind what kind of presentations would be donde if it was just SQL Server, apart from presenting new features or similar… But that would be mostly exclusive to Microsoft and associates.

I mark such emails as phishing. I know that stretches the definition but it’s not totally off.
Idk what conferences you’re going to man I’ve enjoyed mine once I get through that preliminary don’t know anyone struggle. Having speakers in person allows actual conversation beyond the q+a. Also students and “trainees” get actually discounted rates. Besides which your PIs funding should be reimbursing you which is means you get cc points for free.
Conferences are great. I assumed this was about those random e-mails that invite you to an unknown and suspiciously broad conference
This is a conference with mandatory presence! So what if it’s a climate conference? We’re not in a pandemic anymore. Grow up! /s
Learn to enjoy the rest of the time during the boondoggle. And most of the time the company is paying for it anyway.
I just love how some things cost astronomical amounts of money just because academia or the company is supposed to cover those expenses and nobody sane is not going to buy that for themselves anyway :(
It’s like the nerdy forgotten stepchild of the hospitals, insurance, and pharmaceutical industries. They make up numbers amongst themselves for the little guy to pay.
Your guys’ presentations aren’t 11 minutes? Fascinating.
Also, going to a conference when your employer isn’t paying outrageous rates is painful. Fun, but it hurts the wallet so much.
