We're past midnight Australia time, aka the time when I start trying to calculate the correct number of sour patch kids to keep me awake long enough for the conference but not so long that I never sleep again #IAVS2025

For those invested in the bakeoff tension, @katestew.art has produced some spectacular bagels, I have humbly added yet another cookbook to my book hoard in hopes the results are 100% recipe and do not rely on talent... #IAVS2025

We have a historian in the house! Who we will be claiming as an honorary sociologist because Sydney Newell's reflections on rats and redemption in early Bermuda (with some bonus rat histories thrown in in question time) were excellent! #IAVS2025

Olatz Aranceta brings new insights from the COMPASS project (I love this project!). How do pressure groups hinder the work of compassion groups working for nonhuman animals in Spain? In quite a lot of ways, but hopefully learning about them will help us to work around them #IAVS2025
