Had a lovely trip to Hamburg for @ISSCR #ISSCR2024. My first experience of such a large scale conference so it was great to see the breadth of exciting research and technologies in the stem cell field 🧫🧪

Had such a fun week helping run our #pint24 events with a great bunch of people. It was amazing to have the opportunity to give my own talk as well and make silly cartoons about stem cells. All our other speakers were incredible and I learned so much about so many things! 🍺🧬
