Great to catch up with @profwhelan.bsky.social, and an excellent seminar — you’d never have guessed he’d spent 24h on a plane the day before!
It was our absolute pleasure to host Prof Kevin Whelan (@kingscollegelondon.bsky.social & adjunct Prof in our Dept!) yesterday — a day of discussions at VHI & BASE then a fabulous seminar on his outstanding body of work. Great to see @fzmarques.bsky.social’s group & the FODMAP team there too!
