Researcher to Reader Conference @r2rconf.bsky.social · 25/02/2026We Brits do find humour in tiny things like being 50% down on Sarahs/Saras at the conference this year, or that having two people called Nancy Roberts is better than having one Phil Jones & one Phill Jones (in 2024). We also revel in our tiny comforts, like a nice cup of tea. YMMV 110

Researcher to Reader Conference @r2rconf.bsky.social · 26/02/2025We get it, but #R2RConf tries VERY hard not to be seen as (or be) 'just another publishing conference'; hence the hearty correction!
