Spring is not too far away, which means we've started our planning for the 9th NEGCM - New England Glycochemistry Meeting! Save the date - June 14, 2025! We have an excellent line-up of speakers, and opportunities for poster presentations as well!

To everyone who has found me via the mucus/mucin starter pack, I can also recommend our Glyco starter pack, if you are interested more in the sugar part. As always drop me a message if you want to get in. We’ll soon start vol 2. go.bsky.app/QTL6EqT
