Sir Steve Sparks gave an excellent pre-dinner talk on the history of volcanology and VMSG over the past 60 years! Then, dinner in the Wills Memorial Building Great Hall, which I was last in for my PhD graduation! #VMSG2024

Guess who presented a poster at VMSG2024 on Mesoscale 3D Mush Textures and also got elected to the VMSG committee? Meeeeeee!

I am devastated by todays event. I considered not posting images that show terrible tragedy to people’s homes. I want to make it clear that if there are any news outlets out there that need free content to raise awareness, let me know, nobody should make money on this!
