a #FEMS2025 highlight for me has definitely been creating a time capsule holding our hopes for the future of our universities

we share the conviction that our institutions can change over the next 20 years and turn to embody a vision of radical love, care, compassion and community... 1/2

also happy to discuss other shared interests including my work linking #AMR & structural inequality... or horror films 👻
