ONLINE: Wednesday Nite at the Lab
press release: The registration link will be the same through the end of May 2021. Presentations and Q&A will be posted later on the WN@TL YouTube site.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Christina Carlson’s talk on tracking the trails of malaria and covid that was originally scheduled for tonight is postponed. I look forward to rescheduling her presentation to sometime later this fall.
Happily, and full of gratitude I am both to Pat Remington for making the connection and to Jonathan Patz for agreeing to speak at short notice, our talk tonight will on a similar topic: “Building Back Better from COVID-19 and the Climate Crisis."
I’d be grateful if you might share this news now with any friends who might want to tune into to the zoom tonight.
They can register at go.wisc.edu/240r59. We’ll start at 7:00 pm Central Time.
