Another conference, perhaps?
I just noticed that a week after the conference I hope to attend in Berlin, there is a conference in Paris: application deadline is in one week.
I would like to talk on a similar topic (not least because I don’t think I could write my qualifying paper and two other papers for the same week) as the conference in Berlin, but I can push different aspects of it.
Wouldn’t that be nice? An excuse to stay in Europe longer. And I’ve never been to Paris. (Or anywhere in France. Or Germany, except the Frankfurt airport.) Also, this conference is a little better looking than the other one.
The worst that happens is that I don’t get accepted.
Can’t get accepted if I don’t have an abstract, though. Writing ho!
