Hi All, It's been a while¬
I hope you are all very well. You may be aware that Robert Nicholls is retiring this month. We are organising a symposium at Southampton to celebrate his career.

If you would like to share anything (a statement, a short video, a photo, etc.) we'd be extremely grateful. Please send me an email at [email protected]. Thanks a lot
