"Jane Goodall showed us what a life in science could look like: rigorous discovery paired with fierce advocacy for what you study. She gave the world six decades of groundbreaking research on chimpanzees and their habitats, then turned that knowledge into a global movement for conservation." (1/2)

Always a great pleasure to assist to (and to chair) the ERS Congress #ScienceSlam, the most entertaining session by far πŸ€—
We had a great time with Heleen Demeyer and last year winner Jannik Ruwisch.
Congratulation to the 2025 winner : Thais Tofoli!

Next up will be a couple of days in the @oxfordmathematics.bsky.social department at @ox.ac.uk to visit the amazing Helen Byrne (and hopefully Philip Maini!).

Excited to share some of our work in a seminar talk the first day and see about possible collaborations!
