Join us on the Wellcome Genome Campus of the Sanger Institute and EBI for a symposium on biodiversity genomics from 27th-29th October! Abstract deadline on 14 July. There is also an option to join via Zoom, but in-person is much nicer if you can make it.
Present your insights from studies into #eukaryotic genomes at our #Biodiversity25 conference! 📈

🗓️ 27-29 October 2025
Submit by 14 July 📩

We encourage submissions showcasing best practices for applying new methods and resources to analyse #biodiversity genomes at scale 🌳🧬

If you're looking for a concrete action to take today--and you're a Visa cardholder--take 2 min and send an email to them today. 👇
If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at askvisa@visa.com. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.
