Subject: November webinars - can you help me spread the word please?
 
Hello everyone,

Happy Friday! 

The end of the year is peeking over the horizon and BioCommons has a bumper month of webinars coming up. UQ and QCIF also have a couple of online Galaxy workshops coming up with places available nationally.

Can you please help spread the word about these? I've included brief text and links below to make this as easy as possible.

Likewise, are there any events that we can boost for you via LinkedIn etc?
