Not everyone can or wants to cycle for 2–3 days, but we can all take a moment to ask ourselves:

💡 “How much am I impacting the planet with this trip?”
💡 “What can I do to reduce that impact?”

Had a great time at the Computational Symposium- such a valuable opportunity to connect with colleagues, hear about exciting projects, and share progress on my master’s research! Presenting my work on the Pyrenean Lake microbiome has been invaluable for gathering feedback and ideas for my analysis 🙂
This week, we had a great time attending the 19th Computational Genomics Symposium at @prbb.org, a very nice opportunity to catch up with colleagues 💻🧬☀️
