There is no good technical reason for this—which presumably means Meta just wants constant access to your camera and microphone for…reasons?

You should quit social media for good
Platforms optimized for engagement warp our politics, erode attention, and harm our wellbeing. Here’s how I minimize time on the (anti‑)social web.

It always seems a little unfair to boil a week long workshop into 5 minutes or less, but these videos are always a fun way to capture the spirit of #MoffittIMO.
And to get a feel of how participating on these workshops is like then @parmvir.com is the person behind these @scientistsinc.org's videos, expect this year's to come at some point in 2026;
