I really enjoyed my time at #BIAJS2025, well organised and heard excellent papers and lectures. My thanks to the @biajs.bsky.social for the opportunity to present my research and for the thoughtful questions and feedback from those in my session.

This was excellent. I'll also long remember Prof Hempel's challenge that 'our historical imagination is often too soft.' #BIAJS2025
