🏆It’s Prize Time!🏆 #MicroSeq2026 has lots of prizes on offer, generously sponsored by @AUSSOCMIC, @AusVirologySoc, and Microbial Genomics #MGen. Not to mention, some real cool merch on offer for our best questions from each session! 🥳

[MicroSeq2026 @Microseq_ASM]

Last but certainly not least, we have #MicroSeq2026 merch prizes for the best question of each session. MicroSeq is made special and successful by engagement from our brilliant audience. Thank you for keeping the discussions going!

What a fantastic way to wrap up our #MicroSeq2026 talks! I hope you’re all feeling inspired & motivated to get creative with how we share our research. I know I am! 🤔

@ebony_monson is #MicroSeq2026’s very first Outreach Keynote speaker 📢 A true expert and role model in science communication, Ebony posits that “your science is too interesting to stay in the lab” - and what we can do about it!

But you don't have to navigate this alone. Finding a diverse range of mentors for different parts of your career will be invaluable. Perhaps you even found one or two members of your "mentor mosaic" at #MicroSeq2026? 😉

Session 2.4 is about to start - our FINAL session for #MicroSeq2026 😭 This session is chaired by Jackie Mahar and we’re being treated to a plenary talk by Dr @ebony_monson. After that - prizes! 🏅

🧬Raquel Cooper closes out our ECR talks for #MicroSeq2026 with valuable insights into reproducibility and consistency of #WGS despite years of changes in wet lab workflows, #sequencing technologies, and #bioinformatic pipelines. What a positive note to end on!
