Mini-Seminars

During the Covid19 pandemic we kept ourselves active online including a series on Mini-Seminars where a speaker presented for 30-40 minutes, then we discussed and asked questions.

The range of topics was broad, and we remain grateful to the many articulate and enthusiastic presenters who contributed to what is now a little library of useful recordings.
