As some of you might know, I'm a sucker for merch, so I hope people enjoyed our (red 🔴 - red kite 🦅 - Reading 👨‍🎓) logo this year

And finally thanks to those who attended the Science Design workshop I ran beforehand, and allowing me to ramble about PowerPoint transitions

WOW it was a joy to co-organise (with the lovely @juliettewaterman.bsky.social & @aukwardlucia.bsky.social ) the ICAZ Stable Isotope Working Group conference this year with the fun (and important) theme "Back to the Future"!

HUGE thanks to everyone who joined in-person or online you're all amazing
