The Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB) was established in 2008 in Sweden and has become a meeting place for marine evolutionary researchers from around the world. Check https://www.gu.se/en/cemeb-marine-evolutionary-biology
🧬🧬🧬And that's a wrap: #CeMEB2025 has been concluded. What a great experience! For the first time, the assembly was held outside of Tjärnö Marine Laboratory, and what a success it was! Thanks to all speakers, organisers, helpers & attendants! See you next year! And yes, we have become kids-friendly😉

After insightful discussion sessions, the 2nd day of #CeMEB2025 ended with an absolute highlight: at a dinner at one of the traditional Uppsala student unions. Amazing food, traditional Swedish songs, and even a final quiz testing our evolution knowledge!
