The Belgian congress was supposed to take place in november 2021. However, at the time Belgium was experiencing a worrying increase in covid-19 cases and our government decided to implement regulations to deal with the situation. An unfortunate side-effect of these regulations was that we could no longer host the congress on biology as traveling was highly discouraged and schools were no longer allowed to welcome guests. Fortunately, our Italian colleagues were gracious enough to host not only their own congress but also combine it with that of biology. We, therefor, recommend to continue reading and enjoy the explorations in Italy we have all enjoyed.
