Logistics

[darkstar]

I am starting field work for my project in early August. For those of you who have field components to your projects, how does your advisor handle logistics (food, travel, transportation, lodging, etc..)? Do you pay out of pocket and get reimbursed for your expenses later? Is their a standard way this is handled? Perhaps this is a dumb question. I am curious how this works.

 

I would ask my advisor, but I feel like I've bothered her enough with logistical questions. Thanks.

Alongside whatever answers you get here, I would suggest you ask other students in your department, both of your advisor and others. It's probably more relevant to know what is usually done in your department and not only what others do in other corners of your field.

You need to ask your advisor about this.
