In my spare time I act as the @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social tourist board 😉 Another beautiful morning here.

Thankful for the wise advice of @nijaykgupta.bsky.social & @esaumccaulley.bsky.social at IBR Ethnic Minority Scholars' Breakfast this morning. They and many before them have worked to make a space for Ethnic minorities in a place like #sblaar24 for the next generation of young minority scholars
