That’s a wrap on London Calling 2026, powered by innovative speakers and scientists rethinking what is possible. From posters to focused breakouts, #NanoporeConf saw ideas turn into action. With 70+ speakers and thousands attending in person and online, this wasn’t one to miss. See you next year.

Watching the way in which long read, direct RNA, and methylation data are transforming cancer diagnostics and treatment makes me so happy. This is an inflection point. Respect for the @nanopore #squiggle. I’ll endeavour to ensure a diverse world worth living in for all lives saved #conbio #congen

Incredible work by Eugenie Yen on #turtle sexing by methylation differences. Excited to see if this persists across other temperature dependent species. Badly needed for Podocnemus unifilis in #Peru @nanoporetech.com

The simplicity and elegance of this solution to protein sequencing rather masks how impressively impactful this can be. What would you do with protein sequencing? @nanopore #nanoporeconf

@arynwilder.bsky.social presents on the incredible ways in which conservation genomics has impacted reintroductions of the Pacific Pocket Mouse (which is not a mouse!) at the 50th anniversary of the #FrozenZoo #consgen 🧪🧬

Absolutely amazing moment: the #FrozenZoo turned 50 today, and so many amazing scientists were here in San Diego to celebrate 🧪@sandiegozoo.bsky.social

1/ There’s just no doubt - the future of biobanking and de novo genome sequencing lies in a single (higher throughput) flowcell running ULK and pore-C together + hifiasm + dorado polish + teloseq! #oneflowcell #onegenome #orgone #NanoporeConf 🧪

Absolutely brilliant work at GOSH on targeted rapid metagenomics for same day results on respiratory infections at a hospital. 30 new centres across the UK to adopt this. #nextgen medicine. #Nanoporeconf

Peptides are being detected directly, folks. PEPTIDES. #LakmalJayasinghe is delivering on his promise. Accurate and sensitive - peptides are grabbed by two DNA handles and run through the pore. #brush up on your #proteomics. This WILL happen. 🧪#nanoporeconf @nanoporetech.com

Ok. 🤯🤯🤯 It’s not here yet, but it will be. 🧪#consgen is never going to be the same - this doesn’t only belong in a doctor’s office. Sample to sequence in a single device @nanoporetech.com #nanoporeconf

My journey with @nanoporetech.com began in 2018 - really glad to have stuck it out till today, for faster and more reliable pores/enzymes. Here to see how the latest tech can impact #conservation #genomics.🧪🐾

Does anyone know what snake this might be? Location #kenya, #nairobi. It’s been killed :/ I’m trying to advise on better approaches to the next snake sighting here🐾🧪

Beautiful and prickly, these cholla cacti, or teddy bear cacti, actually launch at you unprovoked. This stand blooms where the Mojave transitions into the Colorado desert in #joshuatreenp and is stunning. What’s more, most are thought to be identical clones of parents with the same DNA 🧪🐾

Ok by this point it’s probably pretty clear I #nanopore a lot (no such thing as too much) but for the 3 people who care - broke my #flongle pore record. 94! #consgen 🧪

I have a slight flongle problem :) so hard to let go! #consgen #recycle #nanopore #portablesequencing 🐾🧪

A rather exciting Thursday night,quickly becoming the norm. #nanopore #flongles #fieldgenomics #consgen The new MK1d just soaring on my first ever Flongle with 90 pores. Fresh out the factory, run within a week. Savouring this rare moment :)

So excited to have backed this #consgen effort to get genetic data on the Indian #wolf in #Pakistan. They're #fullyfunded! The one year countdown begins. #experiment.com

I suppose this is the test. I was dxed with breastcancer 26 yr ago. I am a Flat Closure advocate. I’ve posted for abt 5 yrs on on other apps. Will BlueSky support the breast cancer community when we work on normalizing all post mastectomy bodies?

Today I discovered the husafell, an Icelandic stone weighing 186kg that used to stop goats from escaping their pen? I have the bruises to show for it. I think THE stone is still where the last person to set a distance world record left it. This seems logical #crossfit #pain #strongwoman

I’m leaving the world of basic bird sounds for some blue sky. It’s hard to start over, but I am ever hopeful that given the option, the world will be kinder.
