BSDB/GenSoc 2020 – eTalks and Tweetorials
Posted by the Node, on 18 March 2020
The BSDB/GenSoc meeting’s cancellation left organisers and us thinking about ways to try to replicate some of it online. Over on Twitter it’s been a blast – just look at #BSDBGenSoc2020 where you’ll find speaker profiles, poster sessions (which we also put on the Node: I and II), and lots of discussions. But what about talks? One option would have been to set up sessions of video conferenced talks – but we didn’t have the time, and even if we had, many if not most speakers have too much on their plate to commit to giving one. What we did instead was send out a call for people to submit their talks, in any form, and got a great response.
If you have any questions for the speakers and can’t find their contacts online, let us know and we’ll send the message on!
