Those of you who attended the SSA conference last week will know what a success it was. Our continued thanks go to the organisers, support team and the platform. Everything about online conferences is new, and yet it went so smoothly, as if it were business as usual.
On which note, all the posters (that we are able to share) are now available online; click here to see them. This year, our online collection of posters includes the authors’ presentations.
You can, if you wish, set up several screens and play the poster presentations simultaneously in full-screen mode. This way you can recreate the sights and sounds of a regular conference poster area. Wander round the screens with a sandwich for the full immersive experience.
And, although everyone is a winner, there are also actual winners. Congratulations to Dr Robert Heirene, Leon Y. Xiao and to everyone who presented a poster this year!
