2019

Please note that, after honouring my commitments for 2018 and 2019 (and having to say no to many kind invitations and requests), I will be doing mostly Canadian seminars or webinar-based talks in 2019. I thank all the organizers that have been patient in 2017 and 2018 with my late replies and taking a long time to confirm arrangements and getting back to them. I apologize for declining so many offers for 2018 and 2019 and many of you now know why and I thank you for your patience and understanding. Appropriately I wish all health, love and resilience above everything else in 2019 and beyond.

Plus a few webinar-based talks in 2019: Announced online by the organizers.
