Wonderful presentation — many thanks, Christelle! Wish you could have been in Wellington for real, but so good to have you virtually at least. Looking forward to our next happy meeting — missing out twice in a row is NOT good!! All best wishes for your important work, Jessica
Is there a final zoom chat to follow up on this and all the other speakers?
Hi Amanda,
There was a closing ceremony yesterday, but the link was only circulate to those who had formally registered their interest with the conference. Apologies that you were not able to attend. Christelle’s talk was the only new material for the online conference on Day 4.
Regards,
Nick Holm
