Phage Canada!

Ok, sure, we are back in the lab - and that’s exciting. But even more exciting is that the inaugural Phage Canada Symposia are launching this Friday, and we will have presentations from our own lab - Alejandra - on that very first day.

This has been a pet project of mine, at the back of my mind for a year and a half now, but the COVID situation made it just the right time to launch it. Clearly, Canadian phage researchers agree with me - with over 128 registrants spanning 40 research teams, this is going to be something special. Follow the event on Twitter (@phagecanada). This could not have happened without an insanely dedicated organizing comittee of trainees spanning lab across Canada, who led the herculean task of getting this up and running in, basically, a single month.
