UK Archaea Workshop 2023

In January 2023 Michelle attended the 20th UK Archaea workshop at UCL.

This two day conference was the first in-person archaea workshop since 2020. It was great to catch up with colleagues from the archaeal world, especially my PhD supervisor Thorsten Allers. A range of phylogenetic, biochemical and genetics projects were presented so it was an excellent chance to hear about recent and ongoing research in the field. The stand out talk was the keynote lecture from Christa Schleper (University of Vienna) about the complex cell architecture of an Asgard archaeon.
