PPT slide with text reading ‘Letting go of certainty’ and ‘Andy Priestner’
All ready for my keynote at the Business Librarians Association #BLA25 in Stirling on ‘Letting go of certainty’.
I will be exploring: whether uncertainty has always been with us; if it’s good or bad for us; and what we can do about it in both our work and personal lives.

We also had Rupert Brooke, Zadie Smith, Alan Turing & Delia Derbyshire to name a few. We had great fun creating team icons - can you make out the bell jar for team Plath?
