[Dis2022-registration] Re: [DIS2022] Regarding presenting talk virtually in DIS2022

Dear Organizers and WG conveners, This is a request to consider allowing PhD students from countries like India to present talks virtually in the upcoming DIS-22. As pointed out by a student already, travelling is still not normal due to covid situations in many countries. Although most Indians have now got two covid shots, booster doses are still not available. There is also an ongoing war, in which thousands on Indian students are stranded in Ukraine. Parents of many students won't want their kids to go abroad in this case. Kindly consider it. Thanks and regards, Asmita %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Dr. Asmita Mukherjee Professor, Department of Physics Indian Institute of Technology Bombay %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
