There are so many things to love about @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025. I got to bond with my @phrg-standrews.bsky.social colleagues over insanely long train rides (but they made it fun). I (re)connected with people doing interesting work who also happen to be great people. Lovely to be home though.

Our previous team member @ischiathere.bsky.social & Nissa Finney contributed to a @bspsuk.bsky.social panel on future research on the #children of #immigrants! The panel discussed data gaps, specific themes/theories related to their unique societal status, methodologies & interdisciplinarity.
