Last week I spent three days
at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) attending the @timeshighered.bsky.social World Academic Summit. The theme was "Universities as Agents of Progress" and it was therefore fitting that the conference was held at KAUST. What an amazing campus.

Reflecting on the day it struck me that in all my conversations with Bob (that I can remember) we rarely talked about science, but mostly about Yorkshire. So from one proud Yorkshireman to another, thanks Bob for all you did.

Great to give a lecture at the British Fertility Society study week in London yesterday on my favourite topic “Male fertility after cancer treatment”. Good to catch up with old friends and colleagues too!

Busy week in Paris last week and not much time to post anything, but I did manage to attend a reception on the Champs-Élysées courtesy of my collaborators at Cryos International. We have more papers coming, watch this space!

After a delayed arrival to Tunisia, I had interesting visits to see mosaics at the National Museum of Bardo, the lovely town of Sidi Bou Said, and the ancient city of Carthage, including the old Punic port.
