I survived @bio_exe! After getting absolutely grilled by the judges!

[Olivia Goode @OliviaGoodeUK]

Great talks at @bio_exe today. Amazing research being carried out at the university. @ExeterDoctoral

[Mijke van der Zee @mvdz28]

Presented my poster "Early genetic adaptation of newly introduced populations of guppies" at #BioCon2019 at the university of Exeter!

Michelle Michelsen kicking ass @bio_exe discussing the war on tiny giants: the importance of #marinemicrobes and their #viral #predation in relation to the #global #carboncycle. Michelle makes a complex topic accessible and interesting! #BIOCON2019 @UoEBiosciences @UofE_Research

Great talk by @DanWMont @bio_exe. Dan discussed how natural rises in #carbondioxide during periods of #anoxia effect the ability of marine fish to tolerate #anoxic environments. @UoEBiosciences @UofE_Research

Last talk of the third @bio_exe presentation session by Maria Spyrou, who discussed how #chitin synthesis is regulated at the cell division site of #pathogenic #fungus. #BIOCON2019 @UofE_Research @UoEBiosciences

Rob McFarling is in the first year of his #PhD @bio_exe and he is looking at how #environmental conditions experienced by #aquaculture species during #development could influence the #productivity and #sustainability of #foodproduction.

Awesome talk from Gregory Wannell @bio_exe, looking at how population structuring of the small spotted #catshark can be used to understand #adaption to their local #environment.

Jenny Littlechild is giving us all a real hands-on history lesson on DNA, RNA and proteins. The audience got to pass around bits of the original Watson and Crick DNA model (as seen in pic 2). Best closing keynote ever? We think so! #BIOCON #toocool #sciencehistory @UoEBiosciences

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Session 2: even posters is going on right now! #BIOCON

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Our @UoEBiosciences PGRs and Post-Docs in action! #BIOCON

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Poster session 1 is almost wrapped up! #BIOCON

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Session 1, odd posters, is starting now! Remember that if you are not in front of your poster during your session time, you are ineligible for a prize! Session 1 will end at 13:10.

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Lunch is served! Thank you Taste of Devon for an amazing spread!!

First student talk @bio_exe from Ben Jenkins. Ben is in the 4th year of his #PhD. Ben discussed how release of endosymbiont derived #sRNA during #endosymbiont
digestion results in a host fitness cost, promotes retention of the endosymbiotic #BIOCON2019 @UoEBiosciences

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Great advice from @Mike_J_Allen for our @UoEBiosciences early career researchers! #BIOCON

[ExeBioCon @bio_exe]

Aaaaand we're off! Mike Allen starting off #BIOCON with his keynote address! @UoEBiosciences
