Hello,
Thank you.
That was an impressive presentation. I tried to review the recordings of Cihan Aydin "From Kits to DIY - Breaking Even for a Lab on a Tight Budge"t and I was not able to find them under meetings.
Is this Zoom recording available at another URL?

Thankyou,
Adrian

Hi @adrian,

Our apologies about the delay in uploading Cihan’s video, we are a little behind in processing the video to upload, but aim for it to be uploaded by the start of next week.
When it’s ready, we’ll post the direct link to it in this thread, and it will also be available on our Reclone YouTube channel at that point.

In the meantime, we’ll be posting a summary of the talk shortly, and I’m sure if you have any further questions, you can also post it here for Cihan.

Best wishes,
Yan Kay

sounds good, thank you,
Adrian
