Super talk from Rachel @chesterscibar.bsky.social.
Dead informative. Engaging and funny.
I’ve never seen cute cuddly STIs before.
Glad I braved the elements to cycle up. Sorry to all offended by humidity increase caused by me sitting drying. Hard to predict how wet I could get in a 5min ride.

Although this will be a lot of fun, there'll be a serious side too. Rachel will create a safe & judgement free evening to explore the history & understanding of human sexuality. Nothing graphic, just humour, positive messaging & learning.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
