Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to bring to your attention the below event on April 10 to bring together the broader McGill Research Software Development community. Please share and distribute within your groups this opportunity to come connect with your research software
development colleagues, and to hear the keynote presentation from Tristan Glatard (Scientific Director, Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics) who many of us know well. The event is also accepting proposals for lightning talks on topics of interest to the broader
research software development community on campus.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope to see many of you there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bryan.</div>
