ReLam Workshops

Relocatable Laboratories in the Metaverse is a weekly workshop that talks about science in virtual worlds and the interoperability of virtual worlds. Each week, we invite in a speaker to give their expertise or perspective on these issues, talking for 10-15 minutes. General questions and discussion follows. This event is designed for scientists of all types, but is also of general interest to people interested in technology in general.
