Editorial workshop (Sunday):

Everyone doing the Nature editorial workshop on Sunday afternoon will need to bring a sample 150–200 word abstract for a paper that you are currently working on. If you’re not currently working on a particular paper, write something for a result you would like to see. The workshop will be run by Luke Fleet (great name!) from Nature. Luke will also be around for the rest of the workshop, and is happy to talk to people one-on-one. Let Errol know if you would like to do this.

Sunday afternoon will be quite busy! The Operations team will be arriving with everyone else on the bus from Sydney airport, so we’ll be setting up registration, having lunch, and starting the workshop within about 40 minutes of arriving.

To help speed things along, please have filled in the credit-card pre-approval form that Tich-Lam will have emailed you in early November.
