<p>Since I am scheduled to be the presenter at the July 14th
meeting, I probably will not join the group until just before the
presentation time (shouldn't I be preparing [primping?]?}.</p>
<p>My preference is to be together in one place, for at least a
couple reasons. I find the psychological feeling of face=to-face
interactions refreshing and missing with ZOOM meetings. Also, I
have not yet been able to adapt to the technological problems of
the visual and aural lag that occurs with such digital
interactions (5G� may solve this?). I find myself bothered more
than usual when more than one person tries to speak during
presentations and question and answer sessions.</p>
<p>However, for the sake of personal convenience and for the ability
of having members and speakers from remote locations, my vote is
for a "hybrid" approach, if at all possible. I know that
educational institutions from elementary to postgraduate
institutions are tending in this direction with knowledge gained
during the pandemic about using such a model.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
