What a fantastic day in Durham at the @IdeasGathering! #BrightIdeas2022 My brain is brim full of ideas, from how to tell new stories in a digital age, to how to live better together (@MimSkinner), from how to keep a solar aircraft in flight for 60+ days, to network economics! pic.twitter.com/UMz9SMlTpN
