After much deliberation, we have decided not to hold H2D2 Research Day in 2021 and 2022.Â
We chose not to organize a virtual conference this academic year because of the greatly-reduced benefits to participants, especially:
No networking opportunities
Limited discussion and attention in virtual presentations
Sessions without faculty chairs who have childcare obligations
We hope you can understand our decision, though we recognize that it may disappoint advanced graduate students and junior faculty.
For those at Michigan who planned to submit papers to our 2021 and 2022 conferences: We encourage you to consider presenting in our winter seminar series.
Please stay safe and healthy as the holidays begin, and we look forward to your participation in future H2D2 Research Days.
