I had the privilege of presenting Hans Griesser with his Lifetime Member award from @asbte.bsky.social
He says that he is sorry he couldn't attend the #ASBTE2025 conference in Brisbane, but he is very much looking forward to attending #ASBTE2026 in Adelaide next year!

Today I learned that Nils Bohr, after completing his thesis, was supported to travel to, and live in England for 1 year by a grant from the Carlsberg foundation. Bohr's written fellowship application was less than 20 words long 🤯
