First day back at work after a long summer break. I’ve taken my laptop out of storage, started it up and am now wading through 6 weeks of unanswered emails with a mix of anticipation and trepidation

Sensible decision
As of today, we will no longer be active on X. This decision was made due to concerns about the increasing levels of misinformation and polarization on the platform. We will continue to be active on here, LinkedIn and Mastodon.
