It’s time for me to step back from organizing the @vmdseminar.bsky.social. It has been a wonderful journey.

Many thanks to Michael Greinecker (@yesthatsme.bsky.social) for taking over my role. It’s good to see the team renew over time.

My thoughts are with Nora Szech, who was with us at the start.
