We are running a survey to find out more about the impact of #COVID19 on early career #researchers. Take part in the survey and share your thoughts with us. microb.io/3lP7eGA #ECR

This was a long but exciting project to make a fungal wall model that is right size and shape. We give you the e-building bricks to make your own model wall as well! @MRCcmm @eurconfmedmycol @ISHAM_Mycology @BMS_Scientific @BSMM_Junior doi.org/10.1016/j.tcsw…
