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.
