Meanwhile As Usual

So I have now been asked to give a talk at two upcoming cosmology conferences, on different continents. Needless to say, I cannot afford to go to either of them.

    Could you share with us how much cash it takes you to travel? I recall that you used to have access to cheaper air fare.

    I'm starting my 2nd effort on getting into grad school. Shooting low, I'm picking places that I'll enjoy, and making sure I get along well with the professors. They seem to be worried that a TA or RA salary is too small for me, LOL. How little they know about my lifestyle.

    I have no access to cheap airfares. And prices are going up. And I'm in New Zealand. None of this is a problem for a rich academic, but I think we should just forget about it.

    If they want you they could pay the expensives.

    Good point, Ulla. I may have overrated their interest.

    Any place I could help? I've successfully raised travel funding for local Houston students. Is one of those continents North America?

    Thanks a lot Louise, but no, not North America.
