POLLEN December Updates
Dear POLLEN Members and Friends,
We closed 2020 and look forward to a different 2021! However, before we do this, here’s a look at what happened across POLLEN in December. We have plenty of publications, some CfPs, podcasts, blog posts and more.
Also, as this is our last newsletter before handing over to our friends at the Australian National University, we would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all your active involvement and contributions that made the work of the Secretariat easier, and most importantly, enjoyable!
Best wishes,
POLLEN Secretariat
