Suvi Saarikallio’s (new @ESCOMsociety President!) words on day 1 captured the beauty of our #Escom12 community: ESCOM is a chance for us to open a window. The conference is a chance to let the breeze in, & enjoy being with our international family. Here’s to our #ESCOM family!
How proud I feel to be part of this wonderful field, with all of these incredible researchers! Thank you @AndreaSchiavio @helena_daffern and everyone involved in hosting and planning @escom_12 #escom12 - utterly stimulating, fun, and full of open sharing and hearty discussion.
