The event will be virtual, hosted by UNAM. All oral presentations, videos, and posters will be available on the event website for viewing. All participants must register (free) to access the workshop.
The workshop will consist of 6 sessions. Each session will include a panel presentation and discussion from 3 to 4 invited speakers, and oral presentations selected from abstracts submitted to the workshop. Posters will be available for viewing during the workshop and each poster will have 1-minute oral presentation.
