<p class="MsoNormal">Dear organisers of Lattice 2022,<br>
<br>
I write to request financial support for attendance at Lattice 2022.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I apologise for the delay in this email, as there was a miscommunication between my supervisor and myself as to who would submit this letter and when.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am an Australian student at the University of Adelaide and I am undertaking a lattice QCD component of my PhD thesis.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope to offer a talk on my work with SU(3)f flavour breaking of B and Bs mesons with weighted average fitting techniques,<br>
The opportunity to go to Bonn would be my first ever in-person international conference and I am eager to finally experience presenting my research live to collaborators, especially as I have missed out on previous opportunities due to the pandemic. Furthermore,
as I am nearing completion of my Ph.D., attendance at this conference will allow me to network and find potential employers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The plane ticket from Australia to Germany will already be quite costly, so any financial support in the way of a reduced conference fee would be appreciated greatly. Realistically, it will only be with this concession that my institution
will be able to afford my travel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I note that when I remotely attended Lattice 2021, there were diversity breakfasts held. As a woman in Physics, I would also be very eager to help out with any diversity and inclusion events, if another event like this is planned.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My Ph.D. supervisor, Ross Young, has also sent an email supporting my application.<o:p></o:p></p>
