This is terrifying.

Not the headline... I'm familiar with the science. No, what's terrifying is how far I had to dig through my news notifications to find this story.

What's terrifying is that this headline is not #trending on every social media platform.

In one way or another, I ended up giving 5 talks in #BANEA2024. 2 were mine, 2 were on behalf of friends who didn't make it to the UK, and 1 as a translator!
I am glad that it went well!
Thanks for the brilliant organisers
