Thanks to @events.embl.org for a terrific #EMBOEpitrans meeting! So much great science and so many interesting researchers to meet. Particular thanks to LucΓ­a and Erkin for their hard work in organising it all and coordination of our sponsorship from @rscchembio.rsc.org and @molecularomics.rsc.org.
