No, it is not a dream. This actually happened!!! We had a *fantastic* #CPEGCPB26 meeting and I cannot articulate any other adjective to describe it until I recover from it. Thanks to everyone who attended and everyone who helped making this happen. @kristinakocakova.bsky.social

Aaaaand, on the top of all that, @fernandalandim.bsky.social won the best standard talk prize!!! 🤩🤩🤩🥹🎉

Proud supervisor moment! 🥹🤩 So incredible to watch our undergrad students from the lab shine in front of such a knowledgeable audience at @cpeg-cpb25.bsky.social. They absolutely crushed it and I couldn’t be prouder! @fernandalandim.bsky.social, Anna Clara Annes, Jorge Silva and Gabriela Karam.

As @cpeg-cpb25.bsky.social wraps up, I’m thrilled to have presented my research and won the award for Best Standard Talk! It was amazing to see so many fellow Brazilians there and super proud to have represented a bit South America! Also loved joining the fieldwork & workshops!🇨🇭🧀

Had a great time presenting my poster at #PalAss24 today. After so many promising interactions, I couldn't be happier about my first international meeting 🥹 Congratulations to the organizing committee for such an amazing event!

Very proud of my first poster presentation at the Brazilian Congress of Paleontology! Lots of great interactions and fond memories of Maceió 💚 🥹

EXTREMELY proud of our lab members for their participation in this year's Brazilian Congress of Paleontology! Lots of great interactions and possible new collaborations. And even a best presentation prize (congrats Thayara!) 🥹💚
