I’m sorry! I hate it when universities don’t support their students and practice equitable science. The conference itself might have money along with nonprofits that give out grants to cover dependent care.

If you do computational biology feel free to DM me and I can send you info on a grant.

Some departments and grants pay for dependent care when a parent goes to a conference. Some might just pay for the plane tickets and not the food. But it does help offset the costs

It is a way to get free/cheap labor and vulnerable students are sold on the idea that it will advance their careers. It might help some of them but not in the ways it is being advertised.

Plus some of the programs aren’t even paying their postbacs…. 👀
