Attended The 31st Annual Protein Society Symposium in Montréal
Had a great time learning about work being done in the field at the 31st Annual Protein Society Symposium in Montréal! Met some great people and enjoyed exhibiting my work while presenting a poster at the conference. Got some great feedback on my project and am looking forward to planning new experiments.
Montréal is a beautiful city and I can’t wait to go back!
Here are some pictures from the trip!
