Thanks, Chris! And yep, all going brilliantly - 270 delegates and fantastic talks and posters. Great to see so much support for fundamental discovery science and membrane biology here! Thanks @jcellsci.bsky.social, @embojournal.org and @bscb-official.bsky.social for support!

Haven’t posted for a while but @jezcarlton.bsky.social opening up the annual UK membrane trafficking meeting #UKMT seems like an appropriate reason to post!

Great line up - as ever - with organisers Jez and Chris Stefan introducing a poster session too 🤓
