Today at the ESA-SRB-ANZOS 2025 meeting (www.esa-srb-anzos.org.au) all three of our lab contingent gave oral presentations! I was so impressed with Tia Valentini and Emmaline Lonergan, for giving their first talks at a scientific conference with such poise! Now we relax! #ANZOS @unswbabs.bsky.social

Roundtable discussion topic #2 at #IES2025 led by @khourymd.bsky.social & Fei Lei Kuang

One of my favourite parts of the #IES2025 Congresses are the Roundtable Discussions, where we collectively debate major issues in the field, with audience members tagging in to provide their ideas. Later we also have the pro/con debates (also great fun)! (+ some trip photos) @unswbabs.bsky.social
