Movie Dark Waters postponed

The Wageningen Environmental Studies Alumni Association (KNM) has decided not to let the film meeting take place in view of the current corona situation and the professional background of our members, whose employers have issued an explicit request to work from home and not to attend too many or even external meetings.
