🔬 Today, we celebrate World Science Day for Peace and Development! Back in June, the EMBL Science and Society Conference explored what trust in science means, how we build it, and what can happen when trust is lost. Trust in science is more important than ever, and each of us has a part to play. ✨

That’s a wrap on an inspiring #EMBOMobileGenome conference! 🧬 A huge thank you to all speakers, participants, and organisers for making it such a success! 🎉 Congratulations to our poster prize winners – your outstanding work truly stood out! 👏 Until next time!
