Subject: COGI 2022 – Mark your Calendar

I have been graciously invited to attend the 30^th World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology & Infertility (COGI), to be held in Amsterdam in November. Not only that, but if I was born before 1988—and I was, by a clear margin—then I'm eligible to enter the Young Scientist Competition! Yay!!

All those millennials attending must be kicking themselves that they were just born too late. The saps will weep into their soy lattes, as I go up to collect my award. And, given that the motivation for this conference is profit,* I doubt that there'll even be avocado toast on the menu to assuage their disappointment.

Saturday Night's Alright

One of the conference's co-chairs is Zion Ben Rafael, from Israel. The conference's hours are:

• Thursday, November 24: 14:00–19:30
• Friday, November 25: 08:30–18:20
• Saturday, November 26: 08:30–18:20

Hopefully, Prof. Ben Rafael isn't too orthodox. Otherwise, he'll be taking an early bath.
