Taking a little break between the #MEEHubs26 #MEEHubs2026 sessions to have a little down/thinking time!
Some really excellent talks and posters so far, really getting my mind whirring on how to integrate in depth eco-evo into clinically focused research.

Great atmospheres at social events at each hub! Not only a great place to listen to MEE talks, but an opportunity to eat a massive spread in Chernihiv, play bocce in Ann Arbor, or stand in the rain in Manchester. Don't worry Montreal, you're not the only hub with downpour!
