"Itai Yanai, a systems biologist at New York University [..] and a conference co-organizer, explained his research to a co-opted 16-year-old. As he did so, volunteers from the audience posed onstage as โgenesโ, imitating being turned on and off by waving their arms when tapped." Thank you Josie!

Petr showcased Prague like no other conference could - taking us to 5 locations throughout the city, including a cinema. He then brought the entire conference for a day in the woods in on our own private train - who does that?! Thank you Petr for making this a legendary conference possible! ๐

Woodstock Night Science โ the conference that took place June 10-13 in Prague โ belongs to the ages now. Though Oded & I proposed the idea, it was Petr Svoboda (@svobodalab.bsky.social) who ran with it & made it such a huge success with his vision for organized chaos!

Scientific bedlam at the worldโs weirdest and wildest research conference
Woodstock Bio2 + Night Science aimed to encourage collaborations through creativity. The walk-on music for presentations was fun, too.
Participating in Woodstock Bio #TCTeAC in Prague as a reporter for @natureportfolio.nature.com was undoubtedly the highlight of my summer. Thank you @odedrechavi.bsky.social @itaiyanai.bsky.social @natanellae.bsky.social and everyone who joined this wild confab!

๐ฅThis was the highlight of my year. The "instigators", led by local master of the ceremony @svobodalab.bsky.social will never forget the privilege of organizing it and i think every participant will treasure the experience forever โค๏ธ @nature.com @josiegz.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/d41...

๐ Today we're launching the 'Night Science Institute', a non-for-profit organization to lead a cultural shift in science! You may say we're dreamers ๐, but we think we're not the only ones. Perhaps today you will join us to make the Day Science and Night Science parts of the process live as one!

Yes I agree. The poster presentation is a great opportunity to really highlight more of the conceptual side. And if people are interested they can go check out the data in the paper.
