#SciCommSunday
✅ POSITIVES OF VIRTUAL EVENTS ✅

🌐 People from around the world can attend
💰 Lower costs than physical events
🌱 Environmentally friendlier
✈️ Travel isn't needed to present
❤️ People are more empathetic about interruptions
🔤 Closed captioning is available
🔁 THINGS TO NOTE / IMPROVE 🔁

😫 People have virtual burnout
🗓️ Spread out events best you can
🫂 Many have commitments in evenings & weekends
🪑 Sitting all day hurts - schedule ergo breaks
👥 Attendance may be lower than a physical event
