    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.
