A total shock & unexpected treat that brought me to immediate tears at the end of #MASC2025 🥺🥹 It was so good to see you & hear your voice again, Fraser. Also to know that you were already so excellent & accutely aware of the power of science communication frm early on in your career. We miss you ❤️
