Dear all,
Thank you for all the contributions so far to the KAW report that is currently put together. However, we will need some editing on some parts, and update on scientific progress until the final version is done. Note that we ask you to keep-the-date September 4 for a joint WCMM-LBIC Seminar. Book your calendars from 15-19 😊.
