On my way back to Newcastle after a fantastic 5 days at the #EMBOBacNet workshop in gorgeous Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Spain. I feel so fortunate to have attended and presented my work! I go back to my project feeling inspired 👩🏽‍🔬🔬

So many excellent studies on the structural properties of the biofilm matrix, difficult to cover all, just see the publications of Tanmay and you will probably find your favourite biofilm forming bacterium and its matrix
