Biology and Evolution of Symbiosis (BESymb)
This last week, I had the pleasure to attend the annual “Microbiology day“, a meeting from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France, as a keynote speaker, spreading the word on bacterial symbioses in leeches. This meeting brings together the academic and industrial sector of the region working in the broader topic of microbiology. We heard from topics regarding viral infections in plants, microbiological solutions to crops and soils, antimicrobial peptides, and more. It was very enjoyable running into old friends and making new ones as well as getting to know an emblematic French city, Bordeaux.
