Dear PLOTers,<\/p>\r\n

Hopefully you are doing well and have not been affected by the now infamous virus or by a mental breakdown due to sitting and working at home. Within PLOT we have also seen the latter as a heavy burden. That's why we experimented last year with virtual meetings and a conference from the FHI studio. This was very successful and super motivating!<\/p>\r\n

We still cannot meet each other physically, but we can of course stay in touch and we will keep it that way in 2021. Yet there must come a point when we can be together again, because to just let a 25th anniversary pass by unnoticed or on a screen... do you remember the 20th anniversary at Corpus in Leiden? ?<\/p>\r\n

Although we were already way ahead of ourselves with our virtual tour of the human body. This time we will walk backwards and reminisce about old memories. Who still has photos, anecdotes or just a good memory? \u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Think about it in advance, I think it would be great to collect all those stories and paint a broad picture of how our field and PLOT have fared. Maybe we will turn it into a beautiful book (we will need your input of course) and your name will be immortalized on 90 gram white paper! Who wouldn't want that?<\/p>\r\n

25 years of PLOT, we will talk about it further, but today is more important. Although the substantive work of the working groups is not at all suitable for this, the working groups are still very active in maintaining a high level of knowledge gathering within PLOT. We also continue to receive good input from our sister organizations in a European context. So the knowledge acquisition<\/em> continues.<\/p>\r\n

The knowledge sharing<\/em> is of course a bit more difficult, but you know that we will continue to look for solutions. The experiment with the studio, team member meetings and hybrid meetings will now be continued: we will organize knowledge sharing through lunch sessions. After all, during the physical conferences we have learned that most discussions happen during lunch, so how plausible is it to organize a virtual lunch session now, right? For now, you only have to provide the sandwich yourself\u2026<\/p>\r\n

Topics that could be discussed during the lunch session include:<\/p>\r\n
