About WHIP 2022

Welcome to WHIP 2022!

You won't want to miss WHIP 2022. We have an exciting lineup of speakers, including Tania Watts (U Toronto), Boris Striepen (UPenn), and Keke Fairfax (U Utah). Our program will, as always, feature the work of talented trainees and junior faculty members. Keynotes and all oral presentations will be available to virtual attendees, and there will be a special session for virtual attendees to deliver talks selected from submitted abstracts via an online platform. We will have both in-person and virtual poster sessions to ensure that all participants have an opportunity to present their work.

Best, Elia and Jude
