Hello Ekaterina :-)
I'm very sorry for not answering for such a long time. Yes, Moscow is crazy. I hope that I'll go back there some day and meet you. I regret not having the chance to work with you. I wish you all the best.
Are you in Barcelona? I wished I would've been able to go! I hope you are well and if you are there I look forward for the updates for all the great work you guys are doing
