Dear Friends of Spatial Biology,
We are overwhelmed and thrilled by the positive feedback we received for our inaugural conference!
A big thank you to all the speakers for their great presentations. It was a pleasure to see lively discussions at the posters the entire time, and also the industry booths were busy throughout.
Great science embedded in a collaborative and positive atmosphere inspired us all – and despite the packed program, we also found time to celebrate ESSB together!
