A real pleasure to meet @chrischirp.bsky.social in person, to catch up with Clare @profbambra.bsky.social and to hear about the amazing range of work of the new fellows!
Great day at @acmedsci.bsky.social today meeting the other fellows and checking out the digs :)
The brilliance and range of science being recognised today was truly inspiring (and intimidating)
And got to meet personal heroes like @profhelenward.bsky.social and @profbambra.bsky.social
