Can’t find the words to explain how grateful I’m feeling to be part of this community
Looking forward to see you in 2 years
And it's a wrap! The second @rdrpsummit.bsky.social RdRp Summit has ended, endless discussions, collaborations and friendships have started! :)

All of this wouldn't be possible without the organisers: thank you, it was a pleasure!

Everyone - join our slack, join the next committee :) #rdrpsummit
