And after two years of bad weather luck, this time we caught a magnificent day ☀️
I believe it's safe to say that the entire team had fun 😊

Sunset over @uottawa.bsky.social as my research stay comes to an end 👌
The past weeks were so packed with guest-teaching, talks, workshops, and chats about research ideas, editorial work, and grant proposals over coffee, lunch, or drinks that I rarely had the time to stop and let it sink in.
