●APPS 2021 online
・Thank you all for your kind understanding and mutual agreement to another
postponement,
this time of this year’s APPS in Beijing.
As new mutants of SARS-CoV2 are spreading around the world,
making overseas travel extremely difficult,
but I hope you are all well and your prion research is going well too.
Let us hope we can all meet again at APPS-Beijing next year.
Prof Dong and Dr Shi will tell us of their new plans for APPS2022 on the
website soon.
An alternative option would be to hold APPS online. Here,
