I have never found myself taking notes during a podcast but this one was really amazing! Learning about the complexity and credibility of the trial is fascinating! Amazing job by the trial team.

A tiny mention of environmental sustainability by @angelahuttner.bsky.social made my heart melt! #IDsky
