Re: [Yasmin_discussions] AROUND SIMULATION

Dear Vicky (and Roger for passing the email),

thank you for your contribute in the discussion and the information about the Melbourne Symposium.

Simulation - in visualizations, models - has a pivotal role in sciences, and requires an interdisciplinary work.

Best,

Pier Luigi
