ElixirConf US 2020 was announced! This will be our first virtual one. We talk with the organizer Dr. Jim Freeze to get the behind the scenes information on how it will work. We cover the current challenges facing conferences, how do you replicate the “hallway track”, submitting topics, what they are looking for this year, how going virtual changes things, and much more!
