April Talk: Emergence of a Novel Coronavirus by Dr Patrick Tang, Division Chief, Pathology Sciences, Sidra Medicine

Message From Chairman

We hope everyone is safe and coping well with the COVID-19 outbreak. Our group activities have been quite disrupted by the current measures, since the school closures and the ban on gatherings.

As we thrive to adapt to this unprecedented situation, we’re planning to have our April talk through Video Conferencing, using the Zoom communication suite. It should be easy to set up and use from all Operating Systems, Desktops (PC, Mac, Linux) and Mobile devices (iOS and Android).

Please note that we have a limited number of participants, so please register as soon as possible. See the link below.

During these unusual times, there are plenty of activities that we can do while spending times at home. For instance, why not a virtual visit of some of the most renowned Museums of Natural History?

Washington DC, USA Museum virtual tour
London, UK: Natural History Museum

Hoping you’ll enjoy!

Best wishes,

On behalf of the Steering Committee
