Remains important to acknowledge our elite position as researchers, the #tension that brings with what we do, communicate, focus on and spend our intellectual capacities on. #nuance remains key, #models are reflections of simplified realities. There is so much more to consider!

Great start 👌🏼👌🏼of our team-building weekend at Livestock Technology LivestockTechnology kicked off by José sharing his experiences from a fruitful research stay INRAE in Montpellier and Yifan on data visualisation (interfacing between science and art!)
