THANK YOU to all the lecturers of the 1st week SymbNET Summer School: T. Bosch Clark Atlanta Univ., Margaret McFall-Ngai, Ned Ruby, @katcoyte, @Zimmermann_Lab, Maria Zimmermann @EMBL, Martin Blaser, Waldan Kwong, Luis Teixeira, Karina B. Xavier, @MiguelCheSoares, Gloria D-Bello and Nicole Dubilier

After a nice visit to the Monserrate Palace and garden, sponsored by Câmara Municipal de Sintra, and lunch in Praia Grande, we are ready for the second week of our SymbNET PhD Summer School!

Very honored to have had the opportunity to present my poster on SymbNET PhD Summer School in Instituto Gulbenkian Ciência @IGCiencia 🧬

Very happy to share that our lab leader Luisa Peixe together with Filipa Grosso were awarded the Maratona da Saúde Prize to characterize a potential new antibiotic. Always in the path to fight #AMR 👍 ucibio.pt/news/luisa-pei…

Had a great time with our final proposal presentation at SymbNET summer school! Shout out to group members Jerry Maeda Márcia Sousa and Ale, and our mentor Margaret McFall-Ngai. I learned a lot these past two weeks!

Congratulations to all of us! 👏🏻 🥳 Writing 📝 a project in 1 week is not easy, but we did it and still had fun 💪🏻
