Early rise for me today (3:45 😱) to get in time to our #Nanopore consortium meeting with #GiovanniMaglia & @ceesdekker.bsky.social groups at Amsterdam airport.
So curious about their newest results! 🀩

We approached in style: ✈️ flying over Dutch (modern) windmills... Beautiful – even for train fans.
