@bbclysedoucet @UniofOxford Congratulations Lyse! Well deserved indeed!

Thank you @UniofOxford for this huge honour & for recognising the importance of journalism in our time.

We're capping off a wonderful day with a roundtable event, chaired by Yaacov Yadgar, on 'Frontiers for Research'. We're privileged to be joined by @faisaldevji alongside some of today's other fantastic speakers for some big picture thinking.

Up next we have today's penultimate event. Panel Three: 'Transport and Technology' with Mikiya Koyagi of @UTAustin and Cesar Jacquier. It promises to be an exciting discussion chaired by Eugene Rogan.

Our conference 'The Interwar Middle East: Between the Transnational and the Marginal' is happening all day @oxfordMec. It's been co-organised by @eirkvi, James Sunderland and me. I'll do my best to update throughout the day.
