From Groningen and the #12ICOM conference, organised by Janina Wildfeuer @neous.bsky.social and her team, to the quiet at home. It's a privilege to meet and discuss with other #multimodal researchers across the world. Then, a walk in the woods with my dog and time to reflect provides balance.
On my way back from the 12th International Conference on Multimodality, where I had two presentations.
Thank you to Dr @neous.bsky.social and her colleagues for the amazing organisation, and I’m already looking forward to the next chapter in Helsinki in 2027!
