I have the privilege to work with Roz, and this is the most well deserved and most fantastic news! Congratulations!

I learned a cool trick from @cap1024.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy

Accounts on other platforms like fosstodon can follow you on @bsky.app if you follow @ap.brid.gy which acts as a bridge to other platforms. Similarly if they follow a bridge on their platform then you can follow them.

Happy to have played part in this with most of the hard work done by the amazing @lucygoodfellow.bsky.social and Carl Pearson. @cmmid-lshtm.bsky.social

Please join us for this seminar by @bugwonk.bsky.social next week👇
