B. MEMBER MESSAGES

EVENTS:   

FROM: Joanna Jordan, 24/3/21
SUBJECT: Scientific meeting on 'Environmental and Aerosol Transmission
of COVID-19'
Building on the work begun by the Royal Society's Rapid Assistance in
Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative, this 3-day science meeting on
the Environmental and Aerosol Transmission of COVID-19 will review
existing work and identify where further research is most urgently
needed.
The workshop will be hosted virtually by the Newton Gateway to
Mathematics, who are playing a key role in the RAMP Continuity Network,
and we anticipate that the event will run from 11:00-15.00 each day.
Attendance at the event is free: please register via the link below.
