Never thought I'd be carted away from a con in an ambulance from peanut sauce on pizza. At least I recovered in time to enjoy the last few moments of #EFNW25 this year.

Thanks to everyone who supported me!

Back from three long weeks of fieldwork studying pegmatites in Brazil for my PhD. Quite the fever dream 💎
