☀️ Enjoy your summer… but save some summer for BraYn! 🌊🧠

Not spending your holidays in Catania this year?
No worries. We’ve got you covered. 😎

At the end of September, Catania will (very likely 😉) still have the perfect weather for a swim. So pack your poster, your science… and maybe your swimsuit too. 🩱🩳
Science during the day, granita whenever possible, and perhaps a dip in the Mediterranean after the sessions.

Sounds like a reasonable conference plan to us. 🔬➡️🏖️
Enjoy your holidays, recharge your batteries and get ready:
🌋 BraYn Conference 2026
📍 Catania, Sicily
📅 30 September – 2 October 2026
See you in Catania! And yes… bring your swimsuit. 😎🌊

🔬 Not only microscopy. Not only fluorescence. Not only beautiful images.

Science is also about everyday life in the lab—including those moments every researcher knows all too well. 😱

The nightmare of anyone working with Western blots, captured in a single image! This photograph was submitted to the Creative BraYns Award 2024 and shared with the BraYn community.

Now it’s your turn! Show us what science looks like through your eyes: your dreams, nightmares, successes, unexpected results, and failures.

Follow the instructions and take part in the Creative BraYns Award 2026! 🧠🎨
