#AcademicRant Can we talk **again** about conference registration fees? I'd love to attend "big" conferences, but with EARLY-BIRD fees of €650, I just can't. And I am based in Western Europe. I'd also like to point out the total lack of remote attendance options.

Pedigree = Crane’s foot 🤯
The origin of 'pedigree'. This type of C12 figure (not a family tree but a way of calculating relatedness – the titles of various relatives have not been put in the circles) looked like a crane's foot, thought medieval folk. So 'pied de grue' and hence 'pedigree'. Source in alt.
