Another very enjoyable session with me rambling about pulsars! ✅ So nice to finally meet lots of folks in-person, talk science, show results and have a lovely lunch. Thank you so much for the opportunity to come say howdy, @ingridhstairs.bsky.social and great to meet the astro team at UBC!

I had to look that up, but that is definitely a good option. Haven't been to Terschelling for quite some time. Visited Schiermonnikoog twice this year, the whole island is a nature reserve, only 850 people live there. It's beautiful. I feel at home in nature.
