EGU22: Discover your inner research poet!

Gillian D'Souza June 2, 2022

A long time ago, a unique friendship formed between two researchers at a scientific conference. At first, they appeared to have one amusing thing in common: being the only two people to wear a bow tie at the EGU General Assembly.

EGU22: Rethinking (geo)scientific conferences today
