Thanks to the organisation and to everyone for being kind, helpful and encouraging, as a postdoc finishing my contract I appreciated all the nice words :)

I was so excited talking science that I forgot to take a picture with my poster, but here is an online version. I talked about larch hybrids and their potential tolerance to P. ramorum in Irish forests. @teagasc.bsky.social

Seeing how far they have gone and the quality research they are carrying out is very inspiring. I loved hearing about their life experiences and their career paths, it encourages me to be hopeful: "There is always a way, and it will all work out in the end!"

Another awesome aspect was to reconnect with international researchers I have met over the years in summer schools, other conferences, professors, and people I have only interacted online.

I enjoyed every single talk, there is so much high quality research going on; I was amazed by the keynote speakers, it was a blessed to listen and interact with international highly recognised scientists; and all these in my beloved home town, Madrid!
