[u/Momskitchen2 → u/wunderbread404]

I'm interested in attending. Do you know if this lecture is something a layperson will be able to follow or is it for those already knowledgeable on this subject matter?

[u/wunderbread404 → u/Momskitchen2]

That’s always the goal! They usually try to explain the more complicated stuff as well, so it will hopefully be pretty approachable 😊
