#DryLabsDownUnder - 2020 and 2021 presentations

Many of us had to adapt our teaching due to social and physical distancing measures brought about because of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

#DryLabsDownUnder is an ideas exchange forum that was inspired by colleagues from the UK. A team from University of Oxford started #DryLabs20 and Dino Spagnoli hosted the Australian and New Zealand equivalent.  

Resources are being collected here.
