Early rise for me today (3:45 😱) to get in time to our #Nanopore consortium meeting with #GiovanniMaglia & @ceesdekker.bsky.social groups at Amsterdam airport.
So curious about their newest results! 🤩
We approached in style: ✈️ flying over Dutch (modern) windmills... Beautiful – even for train fans.

What a special experience #EURO2025 #FRAGER:
#Basel full of French & German ⚽ fans both claiming a 'home game' at the border triangle... All super passionate, yet a friendly atmosphere!👍
Also, well deserved AK Berger: player of the match!
110min numerical superiority by 🇫🇷 – how can they STILL lose?

We had a fantastic conference dinner to close the #CSSB25 at Copenhagen: look at this! 😱 Huge thank you to the organizers Nikos Hatzakis, Morten Meldal, Karen Martinez, Claus Løland & Lucy Holt, as well as the two Deans giving their joint speech here. Had a phenomenal time at the Danish capital. 👌
