During the session, key topics were discussed:
๐Ÿ”น The importance of effective research data management and the introduction to the FAIR principles.
๐Ÿ”น The Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) being developed for managing confocal imaging data. ๐Ÿ”ฌ

The event highlighted the critical role of proper data handling before, during, and after the research processโ€”a key element in ensuring reproducibility and reliability in science!

e.Biofilm is committed to strengthening our communityโ€™s skills. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ

Visit to Prof. Dianne Newmanโ€™s lab at Caltech

Our PhD student, Ana Barbosa, had the amazing opportunity to visit Prof. Dianne Newmanโ€™s lab at Caltech! ๐Ÿ”ฌ
โžก๏ธ https://dknweb.caltech.edu/

During her visit, Ana shared her research in the development of a Spatial Transcriptomic method for studying ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ข biofilms ecology, engaging in a fruitful discussion that led to valuable feedback and improvements.
Ana also had the chance of meeting with Prof. Niles Pierce and Dr. Nate Glasser, two experts in spatial transcriptomics, who kindly pointed out new ideas for her work.

๐Ÿ’ก e.Biofilm envisions that visits like these are always an inspiration to our young researchers, promoting fresh perspectives, new ideas, and innovative approaches to their projects. Such experiences highlight the power of scientific collaboration in driving future breakthroughs. ๐Ÿš€
