What an amazing time both @isba11.bsky.social and the @paastacommunity.bsky.social pre-ISBA conference last week were! Not entirely sure what I was doing here, but the rest of the time I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with old and new colleagues, listening to amazing science, and eating delicious food.
