After months of organisation, it was an amazing and crazy couple of days at @qmulmaths.bsky.social hosting PiFORUM25 - the annual conference run by the Piscopia initiative (piscopia.co.uk) It also marked my final two days at QMUL (modulo thesis corrections), as I start my first postdoc this Monday!

Thesis defended, doctor pending 💜 (Thanks to @pennigulrich.bsky.social and Navid Nabijou for the viva)

I will always remember today as the day my thesis cracked 100 pages [editors note: I will probably forget this day by the end of the week]

Hello world! We’re excited to be at the Diversity and Decolonisation in Mathematics conference at the University of Warwick today and tomorrow. If you’re around, come say hi!
