Funny thing. We hosted a discussion session with students over lunch today. Afterwards, I was telling Dr. Davies about Hive. Turns out, he was active for a while in the early days of Steem (from August 2016): https://steemit.com/@antonydavies
Based on our discussion this afternoon, sounds like he's interested in coming back on board.
