Thanks @QRALeeds2020 for an excellent conference! Finished up with a really crap bug despite an early night thursday... Hope it was only me! Still looking forward to next year and feeling inspired for future work. #januarysickbug #qra20 #sleepingweekend

A flying visit @QRALeeds2020 + nostalgic visit to old haunts. Thanks to the organisers. Great to catch @GraemeSwindles @baird_andy after far too long! Great paper action @arch_sedaDNA @TomCBHill + hoping @Kim_LDavies is holding up!

[Tom Hill @TomCBHill]

Some great talks at this years @QRALeeds2020 , but particular highlights were @richard_fewster’s PALSA talk, @arch_sedaDNA DNA and taphonomy talk, plus @drmattjones’s @PalaeoRas project and his important statement on why defining the anthropocene to 1950 really needs more debate
