The Garcia Lab had a great time at the US HUPO Conference this week. US HUPO is such a strong, interactive and supportive community, which is exactly what we all needed right now.

Was very proud of the US HUPO leadership who held an impromptu "Town Hall" during the US HUPO Conference this week to discuss the recent uncertainties and challenges in science. There were lots of anxieties, difficult questions, but sincere conversations. Most conversations were not centered 1/2
