Format of virtual conference
The virtual format of the conference aims to enhance both sustainability and inclusivity. Reducing carbon emission is an existential challenge to us all, and will require novel approaches. Additionally the possibility to attend virtually will enable participation by researchers with limited budgets, based in remote locations or with restricted travel possibilities. Registration is free.

Kudos to @MEEvirtual for recording all talks during #MEEvirtual2020. That's a huge benefit of online conferences, it requires a lot a technical organization, but it's worth it.
You can switch rooms quickly at an online conference, but you still cannot really follow two simultanous talks at the same time, and it's so hard to choose which session to attend today for @ESmb2020 ...
I learned about the awesome concept of #Ethnobotany from @QuaveEthnobot during the #MEEVirtual2020 conference, studying the medicine that nature provides ❣️❣️In another world, I would immediately switch fields and start all over again with this research direction.
Here's some plant love to kick off the week! 🌿♥️
DYK #beautyberry produces compounds that restore the activity of certain antibiotics to #MRSA? We're learning more about the healing power of plants every day!
