Andrew and list: Thanks for this announcement. I will try to attend - in part to visit a new, successful NET program in Stockholm. It happens to be featured tomorrow in a webinar (cost $40 for non-members); signup at https://ttcorp.regfox.com/ibi-webinar-stockholm-biochar-project <https://ttcorp.regfox.com/ibi-webinar-stockholm-biochar-project>.
