I'm sure I'm not the only one who's a little more tired than usual this Monday morning, but well worth it for a brill weekend at BAF! Very well done to all the presenters, Jo and the team @ansoc-erc.bsky.social on a great conference.

We've been so lucky with the weather on UCD SoA fieldtrips over the last couple of weekends! Few pictures here from today's to the National Heritage Park in Ferrycarrig. Maybe time now for a nap on the journey back to Dublin...
