As part of the APAC Symposium 2021, the APAC Community selected 4 studies to push into 2022. We would love to have folks around the world join us and help us with these studies. I’ve created a poll for anyone who has an interest in joining the study groups for each study (https://forms.office.com/r/K77ijSreyR). If you have an interest, please fill out this poll. If you want to participate in more than 1 study, you will have to fill this out more than once.
