We went from Gemma and I dreaming of an #AustralasianOvidianSociety that could provide for the local (& especially postgrad and ECR) needs... to a year of emailing around in our nextworks... to Simona & I organising TWO Ovid panels at #ASCS25... Turns out there were plenty of us waiting in the wings

I'm grateful to have presented in the SCS Ovid panel on the Heroides, speaking about my favourite swan song 🦢
Alicia and Daniel ran a wonderfully accessible hybrid panel, which set a high standard for the rest of the conference!
I'm feeling lucky to be amongst excellent papers ✍
