Dear colleagues,

I have the pleasure to announce our next online meeting on the 16th of May, 12-14 GMT/UTC, so early in the day for Americans (5-7 San Francisco, 7-9 Chicago, 9-11 Argentina), early afternoon for people in Europe (14-16 Paris CEST) and late  in the day for scientists in Asia (Tokyo 21-23) . Please recheck your local times against GMT.

We will use Zoom for the meeting, I will send the zoom registration link later. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

As you will remember, we have either 20-minutes talks to watch before the meeting or live 5-minutes talks. The 20-min talks will have a short introduction during the meeting, so that we can use the meeting time mainly for discussions. You will be able to watch the talks before the meeting on Youtube, in the same channel as used before, the links will be sent in a later email, but if you are subscribed to the Youtube Channel you will probably be notified of the new videos as they are uploaded.

Here is the link for the playlist of this meeting :
