It was a pleasure to host Dr. Peter O'Toole, Director of the BioScience Technology Facility and Head of Imaging and Cytometry core at the University of York. He is also the host of the other, way more popular, flow cytometry dedicated podcast Flow Stars. We discussed all things podcasting, creating workshops and setting up meetings, and many more topics.

We also discussed the RMS - visit www.rms.org.uk for more details and how to become a member

The Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) had its 2024 annual meeting in Minneapolis and I was asked to chair the Service Contract Session. Pro tip: if that happens to you, you need to recruit Julie Auger, Executive Director at the Salk Institute, and she'll find equally great panelists for the session. It was a pleasure to have Brooke Bean Massani, Director of Research Support Services at the University of Arizona, and Roy Martin, Senior Field Marketing Manager for Biological Mass Spectrometry at Waters join the discussion. And for good measure, we had super secret panelist Marjolijn Hameetman, Operational Manager Flow Core Facility bij Leiden University Medical Center, jump in to discuss the very interesting solution that was developed in her institution.

My thanks for the ABRF organizing committee for allowing me to be part of this session.

Note: The sound was edited because my mic was clipping a bit too much for my taste. The result is a sound that is clearer, but we loose the echo of the rooms, ambient noise, clapping and what not. It may also have introduced some weirdness that I couldn't get rid of. Editing is not my job...

Spatial Biology is an emerging technology that can get a heck of lot confusing for David. When David doesn't understand something, he asks people to help. Be like David. Ask Cezary and Daniel to explains things to you.
