Prof. Mahmoud Fathalla then tasked the conference with sending a message to the Lady of Laetoli with three components: 1. Thanks and appreciation. 2. Regrets and apologies. 3. We promise and yes, we can. He described these three messages in detail, ending with the promise that we can now prevent so many of these deaths, and that we will, in the future.
