Hello world :) now I know why Zoom was more popular than I expected. So much is happening here.
Gül Varol is defending her Habilitation today, and she's using it to organize a workshop with an Avengers list of speakers: gulvarol.github.io/hdr/index.html
There's a zoom link, hopefully it will work. Starts 9am CET

(France is one of those countries requiring the Habilitation to become professor)
