This is such an amazing event🥳 Shout out to Ruth and SexGen! I received so many kind words and helpful feedback for my presentation. I also learned so much from other speakers.

Ruth Holliday @ruthholliday.bsky.social · Jun 12

Massive shout out too to my brilliant PhD students Zexuan He, Luna Yihan Fu (both of whom met tough questions with great answers) and Xingyi Li on her first ever paper, and everyone else who presented fascinating papers or engaged thoughtfully with speakers. Looking forward to our next endeavor!
