Just on my way home after an amazing @aibio-uk.bsky.social workshop at #Bristol. Was great to see some people IRL who I know through emails, and really enjoyed the great questions after my talk.
Thanks for inviting me, and I'm looking forward to attending future meetings.

All the tiredness and travel are worth it if it means showing the world what D’Arcy taught us. Thanks to @aibio-uk.bsky.social and the local organisers for yesterday’s event in Bristol. It was a pleasure to engage in such stimulating discussions 👩🏻‍💻🦇. #AI #Morphology #ResearchCommunity #EarlyCareer
