An 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Fungal Science Network Symposium hosted by , 51³Ô¹ÏÍø: Early career researchers in fungal science – what now and what next?
The symposium showcased the wealth of contributions to fungal science made by post-docs and early-career researchers. The Network welcomed forty in-person attendees to the Flowers Building at South Kensington Campus for an exciting programme of talks from ECRs across the Network’s broad scope of fungal science. Thank you to all of our visiting, as well as 51³Ô¹ÏÍø College, speakers for illustrating the diversity of interesting and alternative career options.
