I missed the business meeting to have dinner with a non-SODA-attending friend and so missed the voting over the location of SODA 2012 which was apparently a close tie.<\/p>\n
I’m a little dismayed at SODA being outside of North America. \u00a0As a graduate student I would have probably been excited in my responsibility-free state. \u00a0But now I’m thinking “How much is this going to cost? How can I afford to miss what will probably end up being a full week of teaching? \u00a0I’m going to go all that way to just go to the conference and not be able to travel? How are our grossly underfunded<\/a> faculty and grad students going to afford to go? \u00a0Would I justify going if I don’t have a paper?”<\/p>\n SODA is my favourite conference. \u00a0And there’s no other conference like it in North America. \u00a0Going without it for a year would result in some withdrawal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I missed the business meeting to have dinner with a non-SODA-attending friend and so missed the voting over the location of SODA 2012 which was apparently a close tie.
