One of the key parts of science, and in opinion, what really is it all about, is to communicate one’s research<\/strong>, to announce your results to colleagues and to give back to society<\/strong> by explaining the breakthroughs (or complications) of our research, even if that means (sometimes), cancelled flights, a lot of flying hours, delayed luggage, frequent flier miles and jet lag (having the change to reach gold medallion status is a small perk).<\/p>\n

And April was one of those months. I was really honored to represent the lab in the 1st Neurobiology Meeting<\/a> of the Mexican Society for Biochemistry<\/a>, which was held in Puebla, Mexico.<\/p>\n

It was full of really good science, scientists, and friends!<\/strong> so lots of things to learn and to transfer to the lab (yay!). Also, the venue was incredible… Just look at the pictures!<\/p>\n

And… just after the flight back, take the\u00a0high speed train to Madrid\u00a0to a really wonderful experience. I was invited to meet, talk and present our research<\/strong> to the spanish association of mitochondrial disease patients and families (AEPMI<\/a><\/strong>). It is always humbling and extraordinary to meet with the families and the kids, as it really tells you that<\/p>\n

whatever we do, no matter how small it seems, it\u00a0matters<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that is that gets us running<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
