A successful first couple of days at Bioprocessing Summit 2023 in Boston, where Alex has been showcasing structural insight into how proteins unfold under hydrodynamic flow. Leon also gave a talk summarising his post doc so far!

Super meeting here in S Korea and to meet up with George Heath from our The Astbury Centre ! Super meeting of ICBP- highly recommended for all biophysicists and extra symposium at Seoul National University with super student talks too!
