I has been a great pleasure presenting at the @catbiogenoma.bsky.social congress today. There are so many fascinating animals and plants being sequenced now! As the only prokaryote researcher I felt very welcome and found new important collaborators🤩

The illustration on the holiday card of our institute @i2sysbio.bsky.social is inspired by #nudibranch , beautiful drawing by @paururo.bsky.social . This is a big honour for my research group and also makes us to put finishing of our big nudibranch manuscript🦑 as the first thing to do in 2025🧪
