A note about the virtual participation option: Remote participation for the 2021 WAIS Workshop will include the option for remote presentations and panel discussions. Remote presentations will be viewed by both remote and in-person participants. Community sessions will be open to all participants. To facilitate more opportunities for interaction amongst remote participants, remote discussion sessions are likely to be separate from in-person discussion sessions, but speakers will participate in both remote and in-person discussions so that everyone can ask questions. Details on scheduling and precise format (Zoom room size, breakout sessions, etc.) will depend on abstract submission and participation preferences for registrants, and will be forthcoming.
