Great to start the penultimate day of our #ExcitonScience annual meeting with a talk from my favourite* open quantums system theorist, @quantschmant, opening with a remarkably approachable and intelligible description of what his field actually is.

*please don't ask me to name any other #OpenQuantumSystems researchers
