- Definitely worth listening to. David, together with the SLCU outreach community, did a really cool outreach project at the time.
- Thank you to @marioncmueller.bsky.social and @huckelhovenr.bsky.social for involving me. I had fun working on the figure and learned lots as well. Congratulations to everyone 🥂
