Can you believe #CFN25 is just one week away? Keep an eye on your emails for updates from us! Speakers and Moderators — please double-check the times and locations for your sessions. Registration is open—don't miss our lineup of plenary speakers! Sponsored by @Co_Biologists.

Ready for day 2 of #CFN25? Plenary session begins at 11:30ET. @CanFunNet @Co_Biologists canfunnet.conferences.uwo.ca

Amazing talk by @KamounLab at #CFN25...think evolution!

@CanFunNet #CFN25 already started with the amazing work and insights on pathogen evolution by @KamounLab

It’s conference day! Are you ready? If you are presenting, don’t forget to use the new #CFN25 zoom backgrounds (emailed to you already). Also, check out the photobooth in Pheedloop!!

Looking forward to speak at #CFN25 @CanFunNet in about 1 hour 👇🏾

Did that program scroll by too quickly for you to see what #CFN25 has in store for you this year? Not to worry, the program is up on our website! No really. Hurry to canfunnet.conferences.uwo.ca to see all the content we have to offer in August! Registration is still open!

#CFN25 registration is still open! Join us for our annual Fungal Biology Virtual Conference on Aug 6 - 8.

Are you interested in phytopathogenic fungi? are you interested in how plants and fungi work together? #CFN25 will showcase these topics and more! Submit your abstracts to speak in one of these sessions by TODAY!!!: canfunnet.conferences.uwo.ca/registration

Check out the session themes related to medicine! #CFN25 is gearing up to have some excellent talks related to these topics and more! Submit your abstracts to speak in one of these sessions by this Friday, June 13: canfunnet.conferences.uwo.ca/registration

Please repost: We have a postdoc position in Fungal Cell Wall Research to study the Malassezia-host interaction interface in the context of atopic dermatitis. ⁦@MRCcmm⁩; ⁦@eurconfmedmycol⁩; ⁦@ISHAM_Mycology⁩ For more details, visit: jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui…

Guess what? We've extended the abstract submission and early bird registration deadlines. You now have until June 13th. Register today and join the fun at #CFN25.

Meet Matt Kasson, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Kasson (@WestVirginiaU) focuses on fungal-arthropod interactions, biological control of invasive plants and pathogens, and the biology and ecology of historic and emerging diseases of forest trees. Register today for #CFN25.

Meet Isabelle Benoit-Gelber (@Concordia) , one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Benoit-Gelber uses genomics and molecular biology approaches to characterize and understand metabolism in filamentous fungi. Register today to hear from @I_BenoitGelber at #CFN25

Meet Adnane Sellam, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Sellam from @UMontreal is an expert in the field of genomics and systems biology applied to the study of virulence of human pathogenic fungi. #CFN25 registration is open now, register to hear more from @adnsellam1!

Meet Adrianna Morrell, one of our plenary speakers! Dr. Morrell's research @LethCollege focuses on improving soil health and ecosystem productivity through sustainable practices and better management of soil microbial communities. Register for #CFN25 to hear more from Dr Morrell.
