(2/3) Special thanks to all our great invited speakers for their engagement and extra effort to bring our concept to life!

(1/3) A week has passed since we converged scientists from different biological backgrounds to discuss and challenge their perspectives @bbb_symposium. Thanks to all of you, It was a huge success and with all of our hearts, we would like to say thank you, Muito Obrigada!🥹🙌

It was a privilege having you be a part of our symposium, thank you so much!🙌👏😁

The pleasure was all ours @sloliveira! Thank you so much for making this week a wonderful one @IGCiencia 🙌🥹👏

We ended the session with Eörs Szathmáry and @Araujo_lab bringing this Symposium to a fruitful conclusion. 🥹🙌

After lunch, we enjoyed more talks from participants as well as @ritafior who introduced us to the use of #Zebrafish #Avatars and their use in the study of innate #Immune #interactions.

How fantastic was day 3 of the #BBBSymposium guys?!😁🥳 Here's your thread to cap off an unforgettable week of discussing changes in Biological systems upon perturbation!🤓👇

Really enjoying the @bbb_symposium on the beautiful @IGCiencia campus. Super impressive list of speakers, including some of the biologists I fangirled as a rosy-cheeked 22-year-old. Gave a talk on Bayes in intro stats teaching, and the feedback has been very encouraging.

Our last talks for the day were from @PielMatthieu and some brilliant participants, followed by more discussions at the Poster Sessions which were rewarded with a wonderful dinner in the city center to cap of a great day!

The Discussions for the DBC activity got exciting after lunch sending that energy into the afternoon sessions starting with @pedrobeltrao and very exceptional selected talks

Day 1 of the #BBBSymposium was brilliant, but Day 2 was just exceptional 😁🥳 here are some shots and summaries from yesterday @bbb_symposium 🤓👉👈

The Divide Bridge and Conquer activity was in session this afternoon in the #BBBSymposium with participants in groups to discuss how they can bridge their respective research work to come up with novel and innovative ideas or questions that can foster future collaborations.

#BBBSymposium day 2 is just starting. Another day of great talks lined up that I'm very much looking forward! 🌉🧬🧫👩‍🔬 #colouryourresearch

Amazing meeting!!

Day 2 Session 1 of the #BBBSymposium is done, with brilliant talks from @BSilva_Santos and 2 participants including @ZitaCarvalhoSa1 from @IMMolecular to get the discussions going for the day.
