Report on the 2018 Cuernavaca LAZEN meeting published!
This time, four students participating at the V LAZEN Course in Cuernavaca, México, had the initiative to write the official report to be published, in the journal Zebrafish. Read it here: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/zeb.2018.1666 Zebrafish Got Spicy: V Course and Symposium of the Latin American Zebrafish Network Aldana P. David, Brenda Delfín, Magela Rodao, and Roberto Rodríguez-Ortiz Published Online: 4 Dec 2018 https://doi.org/10.1089/zeb.2018.1666 Abstract The V Latin American Zebrafish Network Course and Symposium was held from May 4 to 12, 2018 at the Institute of Biotechnology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. A group of 19 students from eight different countries were selected and trained during a week in a variety of topics and techniques using zebrafish as a model, followed by a 2-day symposium. In this article, we want to point out not only the outstanding activities carried out during the course but also highlight the great experience, the knowledge, and the fantastic relationships we gained from those days. |
