From groundbreaking science to unforgettable experiences, this meeting showcased what makes the MeDOC community special.  Thank you to @MakowskiLab and the WELCOM project for hosting such a productive meeting.

What a week at the MeDOC Consortium Meetings! Here's how it all went down: Day 1 kicked off strong with cutting-edge project updates and poster pitches highlighting the incredible research the Consortium is conducting. We celebrated with bowling under the sea!
