Ten simple rules for switching from face-to-face to remote conference: An opportunity to estimate the reduction in GHG emissions.

In 2020, the world faced the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic that drastically altered people's lives. Since then, many countries have been forced to suspend public gatherings, leading to many conference cancellations, postponements, or reorganizations. Swit...
