It was a pleasure and very inspiring having @theafrogers.bsky.social and @mendezaranda.bsky.social at our institute this week giving a talk about their research! 🧬 Comparing Hi-C contact maps from our different study organisms and learning so much more! 😎
Had a great time speaking at KU Leuven and at the University of Münster in the last week! Thank you @eveseuntjens.bsky.social and @jannelrinke.bsky.social for the invites, city tours and great company! And so nice to see @mendezaranda.bsky.social as well 😊
