Authorship Workshop with Nature Research Academies
Notice of Cancellation
Due to concerns regarding the spread of novel coronavirus, we have decided to cancel the Authorship Workshop with Nature Research Academies.
As we were expecting a large number of attendees, and as the domestic infection route has not been clearly identified, we deemed it safer to not hold the event at this time.
We recognize that many of you were looking forward to this workshop. As such, we will try to hold it at a later date, when we can do so more safely.
Thank you for your understanding, and we again apologize for the inconvenience.
