Mini-reunion of @costalaboratory.bsky.social from the 2020/21 era. Had a great time at the 94th Harden Conference in Crete, reconnecting with old colleagues and making new connections. Looking forward to the next one! @biochemsoc.bsky.social @tcr-miller.bsky.social @puehringertom.bsky.social

Had a great time at 3R+3C in Fukuoka, Japan representing @costalaboratory.bsky.social. Great to hear about some amazing science and experience Japan! Until next time at 3R+3C+D! And congrats to @puehringertom.bsky.social for winning a poster prize - well deserved!
