🚨 Reminder to send in your abstracts for the palaeogenomics conference in Stockholm! 🧬🦠🐕💃🏼

If your results are still preliminary, my tip is to keep the abstract broad rather than skip submitting altogether 😉

See the post below for the price estimate and looking forward to seeing you there 🥳! #aDNA
⏰ The clock is ticking❗

LESS THAN 10 DAYS LEFT to submit your abstracts (30th Nov).

Do it here👉 icp2026.palaeogenomics.org/abstracts/

Many of you are asking for the registration fees 💸. We are still working out the details, but we estimate 400-500€ for regular attendees and 300-400€ for students.
