Together with @JvHooff and @EelcoTromer, I’m organizing a session for the 2023 scientific spring meeting of the Royal Dutch Society for Microbiology @KNVM_online titled “Microbes as Models for Complex Biology”. In this session, we will highlight how microbes are used to understand complex (eukaryotic) biology and evolution, including talks from Iñaki Ruiz-Trillo (@multicellgenome, @IBE_Barcelona) and Agathe Chaigne (@AgChaigne, @UtrechtUni). If you think you have exciting data to share that fit the theme, please, indicate so during abstract submission (deadline in one month, Jan 20th).
