@Lucie_Hlouskova had the opportunity to attend the @emblebi course Genome bioinformatics: from short- to long-read sequencing in the UK 🧬 We’re happy she represented the plant genomics community!🌱

Huge thanks to the organizers for a great week 🙌

Our PhD students are out in the field, planting maize and getting their hands dirty for science 🌽🧤
Sunburns, sore backs, and soil in places it shouldn’t be—must be field season!
