Who knows if the cows were more or less interested in my poster than the poster session attendees would have been.

Also good idea @mathcancer.bsky.social to flip the script, it was great to hear from our host Parmvir too!

😂 perfect

Thanks for the great science and great company. Next year will be time to swap the poutine for pilsner and I'll hope to see you in Graz! #SMB2025

For the most part everything ran on time! Also crucial to success of course, as well as being just good manners. I wholeheartedly endorse the session chair energy of Kelsey Gasior:

"If you run over time, I will body slam you off stage."

I was overall really impressed with the organization, bravo to the team. The venue worked well; this is IMO crucial to a great conference experience in that it permits ease of hopping between parallel sessions (bar a few squeaky doors) to cram in as many minisymposia talks as is humanly possible.

In terms of themes, I feel like more than even I saw an emphasis on rigorous inference of one's models to data, not just in methods talks but in applications; big fan of that! I also appreciated great talks that dug deep into complex tumor microenvironments and cell state transitions within them.

Yep. There are a lot that don't say a lot.
