Back from my mini-stay in Oslo! 🇳🇴

I attended the fabulous PhD course taught by @mariannedahl.bsky.social and @idarudolfsen.bsky.social
& later was lucky to receive amazing feedback on some early work from folks at @prioresearch.bsky.social and @statsvitenskap.bsky.social 🌟 Tusen takk!

It's been a busy July so far!
