Hello all,
In 2019 we held the inaugural Wild and Comparative Immunology (WACI) workshop in Hobart. Our in person workshop discussions led to a 'Rewilding immunologyhttps://science.sciencemag.org/content/369/6499/37' Perspective article in Science from our WACI consortium.
This year we are totally online and have 33 speakers and over 135 people registered from 12 countries (https://www.wacimmuno.com/program/). There are still two days left to register for the 2020 Wild and Comparative Immunology workshop (https://www.wacimmuno.com/registration-2020/) and there is no fee this year.
In 2021 we hope to get back to in person workshops, and will be supported as an Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology (ASI) special interest group.
Best, Andy
