🎉 HUPO 2024 conference wrap-up 🎉

Our BioGenies team – Michał, Jarek, Krysia, Weronika, and Oriol – had an unforgettable week at HUPO 2024 in Dresden! Here’s the highlight reel:

🏙️ Sunday: arrival & sightseeing

We started the week with a stroll to explore the conference site and snapped a photo of the iconic Yenidze, a former cigarette factory with a unique design 🕌.

That evening, we picked up Oriol from the airport ✈️ and headed to Sophienkeller to dive into local Dresden delicacies 🥨🍖.

🎊 Opening ceremony & networking

Sunday night kicked off with the opening ceremony and welcome reception 🍾, followed by an Early Career Researchers Networking Night. Despite the darkness on our boat tour 🌌, we made the most of it by networking with fellow researchers. The highlight? Watching as they joined two boats together – an unexpected twist to the night! 🚢

🏒 Monday: air hockey & more connections

Monday saw some friendly rivalry when Jarek and Krysia discovered an air hockey table! After an intense game, it ended in a tie 🤝.

Later, Krysia reunited with our colleague Dominik in the plenary hall,

and Jarek, Weronika, and Oriol snapped some fun group photos 📸.

📊 Poster sessions & interest

Each of us had poster sessions on different days, and it was exciting to see such strong interest in our research 🧬📈. The steady traffic at our posters highlighted the growing excitement around our work!

🍲 Dresden’s culinary gems

Between sessions, we sampled even more homemade Dresden dishes – fueling our research discussions and conference exploration 🥘💪.

🌉 Foggy adventure at Bastei Bridge

We carved out some time to visit the famous Bastei Bridge. Though the heavy fog limited the view 🌫️, it added a mystique that made for an unforgettable (and chilly) adventure! 🏞️

✈️ Oriol’s travel twist

Oriol’s return flight was suddenly canceled due to an airport strike 😱. But no worries – Michał, Jarek, and Weronika swooped in 🚗, picking him up from his hotel to drive him back to the airport.

🏰 Friday: Dresdner Zwinger exploration

After the conference wrapped up, Weronika and Jarek spent Friday exploring the beautiful Dresdner Zwinger – a perfect way to close out a memorable week of science and sightseeing 🏛️✨.

Thanks, HUPO 2024, for the inspiring talks, new connections, and unforgettable memories! Until next time, Dresden! 🇩🇪💫
