The Norwich Cambridge Science Symposium is back this summer! Save the date (13th-14th August). Check out our updated website : nocass.org, and follow @nocassofficial.bsky.social for upcoming updates on keynote speakers, panelists and workshops! (Registration opens 1st June).

Reflecting on our fabulous career panel last night. We covered big mistakes, non-linear paths and being careful about which advice to take from bosses (No need to worry PIs, we do respect your advice!)

Session 2 and 3 down! Everything from microbiome cakes, kiwifruit, GRAS-y marchantia, CNLs and 3D spatial transcriptomics.We've got it all at #NoCaSS2025

This afternoon at @nocassofficial.bsky.social hear from PhD researcher Jade Van Wijk on her work using air sequencing technology to identify fungal and bacterial wheat pathogens! buff.ly/giDIKDX #NoCaSS2025

MINGLE #NoCaSS 2025! Chocolate phylogenies! Flag based , allergy based or planetary ortholog position based ? A galaxy is technically sister to the milk way by planetary classification but by allergy they're distant cousins!

From chlorophyll biosynthesis, purifying huggeeee complexes , mystery 1.1 domains and nitrogen use efficiency... session 1 is done! Photosynthesis solved ? Not quite, but some good progress and very interesting talks nonetheless!

#NoCaSS2025 has almost begun!! Make sure to grab your complementary sticker at the reception desk !!
