First announcement: Workshops for the IDS
The International Diatom Symposium is coming closer, and we have two workshops lined up for you to participate in. It will be organized by Young ISDR, but may be open for other ISDR attendants. Both workshops would need the use of a laptop or tablet (big enough electronic device for their use in the workshops)
A bit of information before we start the registrations:
