Deadline postponed 🥳 A few more days to work on your abstract and send it our way 🤗 new DL: 12th April
Had a lovely time presenting some of our research from @coe-mmbb.bsky.social on #music and #love at this special meeting of @royalsociety.org in Edinburgh. It was an exciting couple of days, filled with stimulating discussions about the variety of ways that people form connections with each other.
