john-pool.bsky.social @john-pool.bsky.social · 22/06/2026The 2 of us are in CPH ahead of #SMBE2026, currently staying on a docked boat! Special thanks to SMBE for offering child care - without that and caregiver support in '23, I wouldn't have made it to either of these meetings. Also, I'm extending this postdoc opening until 7/7: tinyurl.com/mtwx7te3 090
