Was recently at a conference and I wasasked if I would give a presentation at one of the Universities in the US. My rather fast no offended them.
No fucking way, nope nope nope
I’ve heard of a big conference this year in the US (decided and planned for years before Trump) that now offers remote participation option.
I like to attend in person as a big part is networking, I have many projects that came from sit downs and a few Wines
I wholeheartedly agree; but there’s now growing fear all around the world that not even attending to a research conference will save you from ICE if they are behind their daily quota.
