Always a big challenge when results don't match the hypothesis. But so important to keep in mind that it doesn't mean your results are wrong or meaningless, they might just be answering a question you haven't asked yet! #MicroSeq2026

What I learnt today is that we should all try to emulate museum creations when we describe data sets we're uploading to GenBank/SRA. The level of detail is immaculate! Would definitely make ecological analyses on publicly available data more comprehensive... and much easier 😇 #MicroSeq2026

Ash was a few years into their PhD when I started mine. Incredible researcher, fantastic person, works on the coolest stuff. Highly recommend joining #MicroSeq2026 to see Ash present next Wednesday morning. (Morning for us in Aus anyway. Late evening for Ash, who's presenting from Canada 😅 Kudos!)

#MicroSeq2026 is returning to our ZEP virtual meeting space 🥳 ZEP has been a super successful platform for lightning speakers to answer questions & engage in follow-up discussions - check out how cool our 2024 conference hall looked! Register here 👉 trybooking.com/DNRBW

MicroSeq2026 is utilising ZEP as a lightning talk discussion space. Each lightning speaker gets a podium in our virtual meeting room, with dedicated time for questions and further discussion, proximity voice chat function, and a great opportunity to network. A screenshot of the MicroSeq2024 ZEP meeting room is shown, with many participant avatars exploring one of four podiums for each lightning speaker, or other "seating" areas for smaller discussions.
