Talks and Posters
Progressive Palaeontology (ProgPal) 2021 was held online between the 17th–19th June due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Talks were delivered as videos, and posters placed online. Authors were provided with the option of making their talks or posters public after the event, and these are linked below. You will find a section for talks, then one for lightning talks, and finally posters.
