Seminar is part of the International Tree Mortality Network. There's a picture of Paloma, her university logo (Universidat de Alcala) and the time, which is 3 Dec 24 at 1600 CET. I'll be watching and if this is your kind of thing then I recommend you make space in the diary for it too, she's brilliant.

It’s December 1st, and we’re giving kids advent calendars, plus a board game each Sunday until Christmas. My 10-year-old daughter wrote me a letter as Santa. We moved to the UK last yearβ€”it’s been tough, and I struggle at times. I’ll use her letter as my mantra in hard times.
Not crying, you are!
