CFP: Perspectives on Scientific Error 4

Due to the restrictions on traveling and academic activities, it is not clear whether the workshop "Perspectives on Scientific Error 4" (Castelveccana, 15--19 July 2020) can take place as planned. Currently, Italy is still under lockdown and it is an open question of whether the measures are loosened in time to make the workshop possible.

The organizers have therefore decided to *extend the submission deadline* until May 31, 2020. Accepted papers will remain on the program in case the workshop has to be postponed.

For the rest, we will *monitor the situation closely* and inform the community members as soon as we can make more reliable predictions. We are looking to seeing you as soon as possible in Castelveccana.

Stay tuned and submit to the workshop either way!
