Super impressed with the forum video. Well presented by everyone. I hope that more forums can be presented this way as I won’t be mixing with any crowds but don’t want to miss them. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Thank you, we are so grateful to the haematology teams who are supporting us with the virtual forums, especially during these challenging times, and it is great that we can keep in touch with our MPN community in this way and that so many people can watch the videos, like you, in their own time.

Hi Maz, just to echo what others have said, thanks so much to you and all involved in putting together this excellent virtual event. I would not have been able to attend in person, given work, so the virtual format was extremely convenient. Very interesting Q&A - glad that made the video - with the (very preliminary) COVID resistance findings and discussion on the necessity or not of BMBs. Susana x
