  3. Type your password again for confirmation. You must type a username and password otherwise we cannot set up a profile.
  4. Type your email address, this can be either a personal one or one for your institution.
  5. Type your name.
  6. Type the name of your institution. Your email address, name and institution are optional, so you can leave these blank if you prefer. However, we cannot send you reminders if you do not register an email address.
