This week I had the pleasure of attending the #MesoSPIM Symposium in Zürich, Switzerland - and what an experience it's been! Top-notch presentations, great posters and great chats with my fellow #lightsheet #microscopy and #tissueclearing nerds. You know it's a good conference when you come back with a full notebook and a head fizzing with ideas on what to do next.
I could make the night train journey there thanks to @Co_Biologists's DMM Conference Travel Grant - much appreciated!
