Well, I'm happy to see Oxford getting on board. Or, I should be happy, but I'm not. The odious toads in charge of the event made a point of stating that travel funds are not available to such as I.
Last year, they told me that I was behind several grad students for consideration. So, not only did they not honor me for my groundbreaking and ongoing efforts in a field whereof I am one of the founding fathers, they arrogate to themselves the power to determine my stature in their stuffy little world -- these clueless buffoons who are only now beginning to dimly comprehend what I knew 30 years ago.
Well! I feel much better.
