I would like to set up or be part of sustainable #AcademicTravel initiatives/groups/networks/campaigns.

Had the pleasure of serving as an examiner for a PhD thesis defence and visiting the Danish Cancer Institute in Copenhagen 🧬 Two days filled with brilliant science & thoughtful discussion.

Science thrives through connection- across labs, disciplines, and borders. #AcademicTravel

2/9 McGill political science professor Arash Abizadeh cancelled plans to speak at a North Carolina conference after hearing about foreign travellers being detained. "Why would we subject ourselves to this?" he asks.

The picture shows a pizza with banana, pineapple, plant-based "chicken" and curry.

Also, I got introduced to the banana curry pineapple pizza, apparently the most Swedish pizza there is. Honestly, it tasted better than expected! 🍕 #SwedishPizza #PhDsky #AcademicTravel
