While this is very cool it worries me a little as it's a bit of a band aid.

Sorry, i think I lost the thread. What so you think is a bit of a bandaid?

Well, I'm from the Middle East and if I was banned from travel to the USA (and thus from attending SfN) and told "it's OK you can at least present your poster over Skype" I'd still feel like I was missing out a tonne.

Got it & totally agree. My interest isn't in working w/ conferences to allow distance presentations because I agree that's a bandaid (but maybe a good shot term approach). I'm interested in working w/ the State Department and international scientists to make sure y'all get visas.

I haven't thought it all through yet, but if you know a scientist (esp. a student) who's been denied a visa for a conference in the US who'd be willing to share their experience, please put us in touch!

But it's not USA, which is I guess what you can help with more.

These comments are really helpful and, along w/ several private convos, have led me to putting together a statement scientists can sign around the world on things we can do based on where we live + at conferences, w/ resources. Would love your feedback when it's fully drafted.
