Congratulations to @DanEngelman for winning the Paolo Bianco Poster prize at #SCSS2024, and to @mirjam_binner for coming a close second. Thanks to all delegates for making our evening beach-side poster sessions so enjoyable and informative.

I also had the pleasure of receiving the Paolo Bianco Prize for best poster. Thanks to @kim_bak_jensen ,@_CellySally_ and Austin Smith for the organisation and @CedricBlanpain for the opportunity and support!

European stem cell summer school 2024 was amazing! Great lectures, learned a lot📝! Met awesome stem cell scientists 🧑‍🔬and all of this happened on a beautiful island in Greece🏝️🇬🇷! Very grateful🥳! Big thanks to @HydraSchool, @gscn_office @HelmholtzMunich @STEMCELLTech!

We've had lots of the PhD students and postdocs at #SCSS2024 asking us how they can get experience of science writing and exposure and recognition for their writing efforts. Luckily, there's @preLights prelights.biologists.com/become-a-preli…

Yesterday #SCSS2024 heard about: Unpublished work leading towards tremendously exciting new treatments Almost-impossible experiments that enabled fundamental breakthroughs & truly inspiring insights on how scientists can combat misinformation that pervades our society

On the first evening of #SCSS2024 we enjoyed a lively discussion, trying to find out if could all agree on the defining features of a stem cell Now @kim_bak_jensen turns our brains inside out by presenting beautiful data that makes us question the very concept of a stem cell

Melissa Little from ⁦@reNEW_Global⁩ is right now spoiling us at #scss2024 with an insightful lecture on kidney and kidney organoids derived from pluripotent stem cells.

The delegates and faculty of #SCSS2024. The first three days have been intense, stimulating, and a lot of fun. Lots still to look forward to!

Opening Pandora’s box? Anna Couturier from eurogct.org leads a fascinating and somewhat terrifying discussion about digital health: the challenge of misinformation in the age of ChatGPT and Doctor Google

David Kent pays tribute to Connie Eaves, a true legend. We miss her very much. #SCSS2024

Fundamental concepts illuminated by beautiful data Sara Wickstrom @WickstromLab encourages us to think about how cells coordinate information across scales to generate and maintain the epidermis. She inspires much lively discussion throughout her talk #SCSS2024

Shahragim Tajbakhsh @LabTajbakhsh challenges us with some fundamental (and mindbending) concepts. He shows us beautiful live imaging of muscle stem cells in vivo, revealing the behaviours of these remarkable cells in homeostasis, disease and ageing #SCSS2024

A magnificent @EMBO Keynote lecture from @CedricBlanpain #SCSS2024

Delegates and faculty discussing stem cell potency, fate, and plasticity over lunch. In the interests of exploring the influence of local microenvironment, we will later go for a swim in the sea. #SCSS2024

Now @kim_bak_jensen introduces another paradigm stem cell system: the intestine, which Kim claims is the most beautiful part of the body*. He treats us to a masterclass in how to design a good experiment and how to critically analyse data. #SCSS2024 *citation needed

A beautiful morning on the island of Spetses as we prepare for #SCSS2024
