Farewell to Copenhagen and SMBE26! It felt like a reunion with old friends, and I even made some new ones. On top of that, I'm going home with my notebook full of fantastic, inspiring science. Thank @official-smbe.bsky.social for organising this and for being such an inclusive & diverse community.

This week I participated in my first SMBE conference to present our current work on human AMY1 CNV, and also received one of the Young Investigator awards 🥳🏅 Great work by @official-smbe.bsky.social community and #SMBE2026 🇩🇰 organizing team
