I have a love/hate relationship with traveling for work. It is exhausting and takes you away too much from family. But then you have some of these trips that invigorate you and make you realize why you love your job. The conversations with like-minded people, making new friends and getting inspired.

🚀 Another edition of the Molecular Biosystems Conference is in the books! #mbiosys25 Thank you to our amazing speakers, participants, and sponsors, including ICGEB and @unubiolac.bsky.social, for making Puerto Varas a hub of exciting discussions on gene regulation and functional genomics. 🔽

For @molbiosystems.bsky.social, we do everything way in advance. Indeed, in 2024, I invited a speaker for the 2027 edition of the meeting. They said yes, but asked me to follow up in 2026. I did. They declined 😭 We do, however, keep a very strong speaker candidate list! Interested? let me know!
