I'm at the Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum today. You can find me at poster stand 118 where you can learn all about @prereview.bsky.social & how we support disadvantaged scientists to find a voice, train, and engage in peer review. Come along and say hello (I also have stickers!) 👋 #MLSFF25
