Virtual presence alternatives for academic meetings
Do you care about climate change? Academics contribute to the problem by taking millions of flights to meetings & talks. Let's work to provide a video-presence alternative, and to make it an accepted practice for conference, talks, and other meetings. Bonus: Can't afford to travel, family constraints? Beam in. We need a crew to make this happen, sign up here!
