Dear all,

You may have seen the outcomes of the talk/poster allocations was sent out on Monday night. 
The full list per-track is now also on the indico. Sorting things into a program can wait a bit, I reckon.

We received a few requests for changes following the announcements. 

a- #170 was awarded a talk (DE/MG)  but would prefer a poster.
b- #210 was awarded a talk (LSS) but had also been awarded a poster (#209). They would prefer talking about 209 and show 210 as a poster.

c- #65 (DM/LSS) would like their poster converted to talk.
d- #237 (EU/DM) would like their poster converted to talk. They mention only being able to get funding if they get an oral contribution
e- #337 (EU/Inflation) would like their poster converted to a talk. They mention being a 4th year student needing to make connections.
f- #187 (DE/MG) would like their poster converted to a talk. Email text below.

My initial reaction is to trivially OK requests (a) & (b). 
I would think (d) is also fine if someone more knowledgeable can confirm the topic is fine for a talk. 

Thoughts on this and the other requests very welcome. Ideally before the weekend.

Thanks,
Matthieu

Email from 187:

"""
While I appreciate the opportunity to present my work, I would like to kindly request a reconsideration of the presentation format. As a senior researcher and Professor with extensive work in modified gravity and teleparallelism, it is somewhat difficult for me to participate solely in a poster session. I was hoping for an opportunity to present these findings as an oral contribution, as I believe the results regarding current cosmological tensions would generate significant discussion among the participants.
