That's a wrap!
We've had hundreds of talks from scientists from all across the world over the last two weeks, but it's finally time to say goodbye.

On behalf of everyone on the organising committee, thank you for coming!

Tonight @cmundell.bsky.social is delivering a public lecture here in Glasgow for the #GR24Amaldi16 conference, where we're learning about the ambitions of @esa.int to further gravitational wave science with the future LISA observatory.

It's a slightly wet and rainy start to GR-Amaldi, but we're excited to see everyone arriving, and to be the world's centre of gravity for the next week

Our GR-Amaldi activities continue today as we host our Wikipedia Edit-a-thon in the round reading room at @uofglasgow.bsky.social.

We're aiming to add and improve pages about gravitational scientists, especially from under-represented groups.

We're preparing to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the first detection of gravitational waves in September.

As part of this we've created a new ceilidh dance which will be debuted during next week's GR-Amaldi conference in Glasgow!
