Upcoming trips and events:
QED, Manchester UK, 23-24 September 2023
All three of us will of course be at QED again this year. Hopefully there will be a live podcast recording (not confirmed), and if you see us there, please come up and say hi! We are there to meet friends, old and new alike!
Tip: We do recommend all who is joining to arrive early if you can, so you catch the Friday Skepticamp event. And if you can fit it into your plans it is worth your while to stay also for Sunday evening and night. There are always late night discussions and celebrations to have after the conference is over!
