End of #EGU25!

I've had such a great week, meeting lots of new people and presenting my research to an international audience.

Hopefully some follow-up conversations in the coming weeks!

Going back to the office next week will be a big change of pace filled with much more grey skies!

Of the many take home messages from the day, one really sticks out to me: most people do not have a straight forward path to where they currently are, for all sorts of reasons!
