We had our farewell to @aksoyundan.bsky.social at UCL yesterday!

Ozan has been such a big part of our journey, from building our Quant Sociology group to being an incredible mentor and collaborator along the way.

We’ll miss his presence & humour a lot, but we’re excited to see what he does next 👀
