Our new study is out!

We analysed 40 Malaise trap samples collected across Sweden by the Insect Biome Atlas project using #metabarcoding and #metagenomics

Short blog I wrote about being a researcher in “Låna en forskare” (borrow a researcher). Such a cool opportunity! #ForskarFredag

Asked my fellow scientists if they had any props to lend to me for #ForskarFredag and I got so many cool things that I’ve had to move them around in a suitcase.

Now back to planning the talks for around 250 students across Sweden!

Planning #forskarfredag talks for #lånaenforskare week! I’ll be giving talks (in person and zoom) at 10 different schools in Sweden about life as a researcher at @CpgSthlm, collecting monkey 💩 with @Field_Projects, and why DNA is so cool! 🧬
So chuffed to be part of this. https://t.co/JeridrQ9N3

We’re so eager to know what ideas you may have that would benefit from SMBE funding, but we haven’t received ANY proposals yet 🤯

Please share! 🙏 https://t.co/sIPsgbJViL

Also big shout out to Pablo Esteban Uribe Herrera for his poster! Fantastic work and delivery! 🐴 I was very impressed when he mentioned this was his undergrad work! 🤯 ¡Felicidades! (I don’t have his tag so please tag him if you do!) @FSanchezQuinto #SMBE2024 https://t.co/li5jGfVTpe

As I mentioned then, I joined the task force as a MSc student; we don’t need to be established researchers to get involved! Reach out if you’re thinking of joining or have an idea to improve IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access) in our SMBE society! ⬇️

I cannot express how meaningful it was to me to have a space to talk about our IDEA work in an international conference of such importance, hosted in not just my home-country, but my home state of Jalisco. ¡Gracias!

Yesterday I had the honour of representing @SMBE_IDEA during the symposium at #SMBE2024
I started with a quote from #EZLN:

Floored by the posters at #SMBE2024 yesterday and today. The science, the design, the delivery… Just look at this gorgeous poster by Walter Nicolás-Ortega!

(Also I love hearing both English, Spanish, and Spanglish walk-throughs of posters!)
