Arrived in Helsinki today ahead of #NNDR2025! Excited for a full week of conference activities, beginning tomorrow with Day 4 of the pre-conference PhD course 🤓

Had the privilege of meeting @hattdesigns.bsky.social, Jess, & Sarah from Uni Melb Neurodiversity Project (www.unimelb.edu.au/neurodiversity) on Friday. A wonderful valentine’s day spent hearing about the excellent work this team is doing, and getting to know one another over good food and coffee 🤓
