I came back from #RSECon25 with Covid. Not the nicest of swag to bring back home. But today my medicine arrived. And for those of you who are not originally from South Africa ... it is biltong. And, biltong fixes everything. So I should be up and about again soon.
Andy Turner receives his prize on-stage.
Congratulations to our three colleagues who each won an award at #RSECon25! Two prizes were collected for research posters, and the inaugural Green RSE Award went to Andy Turner. Well done everyone.

I missed Mike Simpson’s talk about mental health at #RSECon25, but ConveRSE sounds like a resource that is much needed.
