IMAV 2019 – a view from Twitter
Posted on September 12, 2019 by Ellen Hinkley
IMAV 2019: International Meeting on Arboviruses and their Vectors took place at the University of Glasgow on 5–6 September. We’ve turned to Twitter to look at some of the highlights of the meeting.
As they travelled to and arrived at the venue, delegates shared their enthusiasm for the upcoming conference.

There was a range of fascinating science presented across the two days of the meeting, both via talks...
Such an awesome talk by @scienceCC today at #IMAV2019 #UniversityofGlasgow @MicrobioSoc ! Huge work done regarding maternal-fetal interface during microbial infections with many questions still pending and hypotheses to investigate... #ilovescience pic.twitter.com/5mFzLXgSLp

We were lucky to be joined by some potential future scientists, attending the meeting with their parents!

Very posh room for milk production. Very supportive and accommodating so far. Special thanks to Eve Gould @MicrobioSoc sorting out the room and fridge. This sort of support makes being a working mum much easier #sciencemum #IMAV19 #matleave pic.twitter.com/ylezHbHYWv
