Yesterday's visit from the MSc students from @Le_Museum in Paris is done and dusted! A very engaging group of students, with lots wishing to pursue a career in science! Organising an event for over 100 people for the first time on my own didn't turn out to be a failure #phew

With everything going on in the world, it's easy to forget that Israeli scientists are still scientists! Great science being made by Dr @MeiravMeiri at Tel Aviv University

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed towards this week's #AncientBio24 conference! We've heard some excellent talks throughout the meeting, and made some new friends working across many aspects of #AncientDNA A special thanks to @ZandraSelina for the X updates!

Congratulations to our bursary winners for our 2024 Ancient Biomolecules conference, taking place this week.👏 #AncientBio24 We're delighted to have this group join us for an exploration into the #AncientDNA of plants, animals and microbes.

As usual, what a great talk by @_ellie_cat! I'm so proud of you and can't wait to see what the future has in store for us! 🦁🧬 #AncientBio24

Had a great time and learned so much at #AncientBio24

Images from some of @NHM_London's aDNA group in the Ancient Biomolecules of Plants, Animals, and Microbes Conference, held in Cambridge. Grateful for this team and @SelBrace #AncientBio24

And some of our tours! We showed Master students from @Le_Museum the @NHM_London Library & Archives, the Entomology (Coleoptera) Collection, Tank Room, Historical Collections, Molecular Labs, Botany and Palaeobotany Collections! Thank you so much to everyone involved!

Images from some of our speakers today! @StrangAlex (aDNA of post-medieval humans), @PolarMicrobio (Arctic cyanobacteria) and @girl_in_a_bog (carbon balance of Falkland Islands' peatlands). Thank you for sharing about your (very) cool projects! @Le_Museum visit to London

I'm especially thankful for the rest of the organising team Brad (@Trichocolea) and @sarah_e_nichols! It's always a pleasure working with you two 😊

Another visit of Master students from the @Le_Museum of Paris is in the bag! It's the third year we plan a full day of talks and tours. This year, a last-minute change of the venue and the looming tube strike made it especially hard to plan, but everyone rose to expectations!

A photo from last week's @NHM_London's Student Conference. It's always great to see all the different projects people are working on! Well done to the student comittee (especially fellow aDNA-group and friend @StrangAlex) 👏

Congratulations to some more of our prize winners from the SBBS postgraduate Research Symposium!🎉👏🏻 'our goal is to protect plants against future potential invasions of a pest beetle'🪲

Check SPAAM's first post! I'm lucky enough to know two of the researchers involved with it, so I know it's high-quality content. Have a look!

@thomas_cucchi @Le_Museum @Trichocolea @sarah_e_nichols @kagame_sp No worries! I could have said something too, but it was a very busy day

@B_Lacerda_ @Le_Museum @Trichocolea @sarah_e_nichols @kagame_sp Sorry Beatriz I missed it!!!

Some images from the Darwin Day Conference held in the beautiful Verniquet Amphitheatre at National Museum of Natural History @Le_Museum! This was my first conference as an invited speaker with a dream team! (@Trichocolea, @sarah_e_nichols, @kagame_sp and especially Jill Bargiel)

Some images of our great speakers, letting master's students from @Le_Museum know about a broad range of topics, and what they could expect from a PhD! A special thank you to Jill Bargiel as well for helping us bring the event to reality!

Last Thursday was my first time organising an event for over 100 master's students visiting from @Le_Museum in Paris! It could have been an ordeal, but with the help of a great team (@Trichocolea and @MargotMinju), it went all according to schedule!

All the wonderful delegates of @consgen22 in the Edinburgh sunshine 🌞 #consgen22

Here’s a photo from the poster session at day 1 of @consgen22 @EdinburghUni ! Thank you very much to everyone who stopped by to check mine, ask questions, or just to have a chat 🙌
