Hi Susanne,
Have all the authors been notified of acceptance or rejection of their submitted abstracts by now? I ask because someone e-mailed me today and said that he hadn't heard back about his abstract yet.
Regards,
Elisabeth

That's a very cool flyer, thank you.
For those of us who weren't able to travel to Chennai: is there any live streaming from the sessions this week?
The live streaming from the SuSanA meeting in Chennai on Saturday worked superbly! I had it on my mobile phone and took it with me everywhere, to the kids' soccer matches, in the car, shopping... I treated it like listening to something live on the radio (the only downside was that as I used my mobile phone for the live streaming, I couldn't follow or tweet on Twitter at the same time which was a bummer).
So we know it's possible to live stream from Chennai, therefore I hope some of the conference will also be live streamed? If not, will it be filmed and the recordings made available afterwards?
Regards,
Elisabeth
