Q+ |

The pandemic continues to have significant effects on our workload and perspective, but we're adapting to a return to in-person working and learning, while taking the health of our colleagues and community seriously. Q+ will still be hosting events online, to take advantage of the fact that we can now welcome participants from anywhere in the world without the burden of travel, but we're excited to also offer hybridised sessions, with both in-person and online participation. You can join our mailing list or follow us on Twitter for updates on what we and our friends are doing, and a choice selection of activities for you to get involved with if you should so desire. Above all, however, take care of yourself and those around you, and we hope to see you at an upcoming event soon!
