Hotel booking has no map function. So needed to look each one up on separate browser. For women this is & H&S issue.
And no where on list of reasons of why we didn't choose cheapest flights/hotels was *our agenda* or SAFETY.

22% mark up on our most recent booking. As this was my first in new Uni I didn't know (not in any of 3 different pages of requirements, instructions & supposed benefits) need to call or email to prove better price for them to match.

People often ask about this and worth reiterating: there are individual PI's labs that cost more than bioRxiv, which serves the whole world.
We are working towards a long-term, stable, distributed funding strategy. It's trival $$.
Reminder: Research $10^5 journal paper $10^3, preprint $10^1.

I'd also add that in the grand scheme of things it is not a huge cost ($ millions not billions) - there are individual PI labs that operate on a bigger budget. So the community should easily be able to find the resources collectively. It is a rounding error on the research spend. 2/2

At #ECFG17, like at all major scientific conferences worldwide, the talks highlight how science thrives on global collaboration. Borders don’t define discovery - diversity and cooperation do. Meanwhile, U.S. policies seem to be moving in the opposite direction.
