Your Thesis = Free Vacation

"Finish it, bitch."

"Finish it, bitch."

Need more incentive to finish your higher degree?

I mean, beyond the sense of prestige in holding a title that 90% of the US population will never achieved? Beyond the fulfillment of duty in serving the scientific community through hours of knuckle-hard research? And beyond the personal accomplishment in reaching your own well-fought educational milestones?

How about a free trip to Chicago?

Listen up kids. You know that thesis you’ve put off writing today to play another 5 hour session of Fallout 3? Some people might actually want to read it. And even better, some other richer people might want to pay for you to present it.

I’ve just returned from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics’ (AIAA) 2009 Modeling and Simulation Technologies Conference in Chicago, Illinois.

My flight, rental car, hotel room, event registration, and personal expenses: covered.
