The proper way to close a scientific event in Colombia

I had a great time at EMIC, sponsored by @asm.org, in Cali, Colombia. Meetings in Latin America have a vibe that's hard to describe. Amazing scientific chats with Cuauhtémoc Licona from UNAM and Pablo Cruz from DTU. Many thanks to Luz González for organizing the event.

Yesterday we celebrated the 1st Costa Rican Symposium on Metabolomics. Happy to have been part of the event and see the growth of this field in my country.

La próxima semana celebraremos el I Simposio Costarricense en Metabolómica. Super emocionado de ser parte de este evento.
Aún quedan algunos espacios disponibles!

We are having a mite problem in the lab 😬. A deep cleaning is already underway and we are using commercial acaricides. Any recommendations from the community? @actinobase.bsky.social

It was fantastic to have Beatriz Cámara presenting her work on antibiotic discovery from chilean marine actinomycetes at the University of Costa Rica. Looking forward to collaborating.

I'm super proud of Douglas who represented our group at the V Latin American Metabolic Profiling Society Meeting.
It's amazing to see a growing metabolomics community in Latin America.

So glad be in Edinburgh presenting the first results of our project on sea turtle nest microbiome and catching up with good friends at #Microbio24.
