International Student Conference on Medical Geology and Environmental Health: Latin America Edition

Registration is open for the two-day online workshop of The Clay Minerals Society: 

'Clay Minerals in Healthcare Applications'.

Registration and further information is available at https://www.clays.org/2021-workshop/. There is no charge to register, but joining instructions will only be available to those who do so. 

The programme is based on two special issues of Clays and Clay Minerals: ‘Clay Minerals in Health Applications’ and ‘Clay Minerals in Healthcare’ to be published in 2021 and 2022 and incorporating contributions by colleagues from Qing Yang Institute for Industrial Minerals, China.
