Last, but not least of the awards granted at #ISTA10, we wanted to do a special post about Louis Beyens, who was rightfully granted the Penard award for his lifetime achievement. Thank you for all your work and legacy!

My relatively short time in Madrid for the 10th @ISTAmoebae meeting has been fantastic! What a great city, and such an engaging conference ♥️

[ISTA @ISTAmoebae]

#ISTA10 comes to an end... Thank you all for coming and putting your heart and soul in your research.
We'll watch out for all of your publications and results!
We hope to see you soon, and hopefully with those who couldn't be here.
Thanks again to our sponsors and the @RJBOTANICO

[Edward Mitchell @pseudopodyrlife]

And congratulations to Louis Beyens for the Eugène Penard Lifetime achievement award! Louis is known for his inspiring pioneer work on testate amoeba palaeoecology and numerous ecological and palaeoecological studies in the Arctic & Antarctic, including manipulative experiments🏆

We had so many good talks among the postdocs that attended #ISTA10, that it was hard to choose the best ones. But the prizes were nevertheless very well deserved.
Stunning work, David Singer, Clément Duckert, @RibeiroMagri 🥳
