About
In October 2020, the Society celebrated its 10th Anniversary. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown at the time, there was no in-person event - instead online events were organised. These consisted of keynote presentations, a panel discussion, symposia, invited talks, a poster session, training, and two workshops - videos of which can all be viewed below.
