My last pic of the organizers closing out the inaugural session of the #MicroSEA course, dedicated to hands on single cell methods with micro-eukaryotes. It was an honor and a pleasure to share. Bravo @johandecelle.bsky.social @mjamy.bsky.social @protistwtmostest.bsky.social and other organizers!
A great place for a meeting, great people !!! Info on prelim, program, etc.
