Mission acomplished (II). It has been great to share a couple of days with our partners and friends in the @NewcotianaP final meeting in Badajoz, dicusssing great science, but also enjoying local delicatessen

This is the english translation of the beautiful watercolor piece that Ramón de Arcos created to explain our Newcotiana project . Thanks Ramón!! @IBMCP @CTAEX_CIT

Badajoz artist Ramón de Arcos produced this excellent watercolor piece explaining our Newcotiana project. Thanks Ramón!!

During the final Newcotiana meeting this week at @CTAEX_CIT we received the visit of @GFVara, president of Extremadura, who showed great interest in our reseach project
