I haven't done a lot of workshops, but generally when I'm invited somewhere (even a job interview, and the one workshop I have done), the sponsor pays for the travel in advance. I would be surprised by a sponsor who couldn't have their end organize the travel details for instructors and asked you to pay *everything* out of pocket (tickets, hotel, car, gas, food etc). Note, I do expect to have to pay gas for a rental car, and some food, and then get reimbursed for that.
I don't know if I would agree to teach a workshop that I had to pay everything myself in advance. I'm used to that idea for getting myself to a conference, but have yet to experience this when I'm invited somewhere to give a talk / teach. Although I think it is a good idea, I would be surprised if host (typically a University) can reimburse under a month after receiving paperwork. -Robert Robert M Flight, PhD Bioinformatics Research Associate Resource Center for Stable Isotope Resolved Metabolomics Manager, Systems Biology and Omics Integration Journal Club Markey Cancer Center CC434 Roach Building University of Kentucky Lexington, KY Twitter: @rmflight Web: rmflight.github.io ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8141-7788 EM: [email protected] PH: 502-509-1827 To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of. - Ronald Fisher On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 9:15 AM Auriel Fournier <[email protected]> wrote: > I suppose that would make more sense, esp since those of us who really > need the money are probably (at least I am) very quick at doing that > paperwork. > > Auriel > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > > http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org
