Good to see @gstt-nhs.bsky.social there! Enjoy and keep up the updates. Online option is great (thank you @eshg.bsky.social 🙏) but not quite the same as being in Milan!

Very sad I cannot be in beautiful and welcoming Milan for #ESHG2025 but really enjoying the online sessions so far!

Well done @santoslab.bsky.social team. Congratulations on groundbreaking work 👏
