[Everyone] First announcement of Science at Low Frequencies VIII - online meeting 6 to 9 December 2021

[Ryan S. Lynch]

Hi All,

It seems as though my mail server flagged the link to the abstract form 
as possibly fraudulent.  The link should be safe but anyone who would 
rather not click on it can find the form on the conference website:

https://salfconference.org/salfviii/

Sorry about that.
