So proud of all these people. Our lab family from across the pond Mark and Peter from AzCATI with half our KAUST Research SSBlab team Bárbara Freitas Sebastian Overmans, PhD & Mauricio LPM at the #AlgalBBB2023 Algal Biotechnology presented as 3-posters and 2 talks!

Did you know the Arabic language has an “abjad” system and not an alphabet? The Arabic abjad is made up of 28 letters, written from right to left. All of the letters are consonants, since the vowels in Arabic are denoted by diacritics. A thread on Arabic letters & language…
