Hi everyone,
With regards to registration, Peter Todd has just clarified:

The workshop will be held at the Department of Biological Sciences
Conference Room (Science Drive 4, Blk S3 Level 5). The event is free and
there is no need to sign up (just come along), but please make arrangements
for your own lunch.


Note - there are canteens in Science Faculty and Yusof Ishak House.


Thanks to Biswajit and Ming Sheng for asking.


Cheerio!


Siva
