I was sure I had added it. Added it once again and now it comes up double. You still can't see it?

Oh! Yes, I see it twice now. I wonder if my eyeballs just didn't wander far enough down and to the right last night. Sorry, @Kalliope!

Well, twice is better than none.

Happy to correct when I don't add my own events to the calendar but I reported this one to the mods earlier on asking them to do it, which is why it now appears there.

You were right, @Sasha I had forgotten to add it when I started the thread. That's also very plausible.
Good thing you spotted it!

 

[Sunshine3]

Have you guys high expectations of the Symposium? I'm not as excited as last year!

 

[Trish]

Ron Davis's team has had a big boost in funding since last year from the Pineapple donation to OMF and from the NIH, so hopefully we'll hear more about what that will be spent on. And they must be getting closer to publishing some of their work on the severely ill study by now, so there might be some clues from that. But like you, @Sunshine3, I've learned to moderate my expectations after a couple of years of watching conferences.

 

[Kalliope]

I'm excited to hear if there will be more news about CycloME and RituxME. We've been waiting loooong now for updates.
