And... Some more pictures from the social activities! There was even time to enjoy the beach during lunch breaks and group singing at an evening karaoke session! 🎤🏖️
Organisers of the 2025 Computational Molecular Evolution course. From left to right: Cilia Antoniou, Alexis Stamatakis, Adam Leaché, and Ziheng Yang Lunch at a Cretan taverna after the social hike. CoME25 closed the karaoke session at the hotel where we were staying! Some of the participants and instructors at the lunch break at the beach.
