At the end of his #ESEB2025 plenary on deep-time palaeogenomes, Love Dalén shared his history of trying to obtain a big grant for his work. It eventually worked out!

As expected, the scientific content of the meeting is being truly outstanding, we will have over 600 talks and over 1000 posters on display. Plenty to choose from and many opportunities for unexpected eye-opening discoveries for anyone. #eseb2025
