There is a lot that can be accomplished via emails; however, travel to conferences to meet face-to-face with researchers from across the world provides opportunities for collaboration, networking, and making friends that cannot be achieved virtually. The
ICPLA conference hosted delegates from 33 different countries. Here are a few of the people that my students and I met with while in Sweden:
 |
Professor Edy Strandy (Mayo Clinic, US) and Sharynne |
 |
Professor May Bernhardt (UBC, Canada) and Suzanne Hopf |
 |
Dr Yvan Rose (Canada) and Sarah Masso |
 |
Professor Merle Mahon (UCL, UK) and Sharynne |
