Congratulations Ruben Silva, who received some funding so he could travel all the way to Perth (Australia!) to present his Ph.D. work at the Molluscs 2024 International Conference.
Ruben is doing his Ph.D. at CESAM, a centre for environmental and marine studies which opened at the University of Aveiro in 2002, an institution we know well, after multiple fruitful collaborations, namely with Ruben’s advisor, our good friend Professor Ricardo Calado.
We’re particularly glad to be able to help Ruben this time, because he applied for some funding back in 2023, so he could travel to another conference on the Developmental Biology of the Sea Urchin and other Marine Invertebrates, an international forum of scientists using marine invertebrates as their test subjects, which took place at Woods Hole in October 2023.
For whatever cookoo reasons, that 2023 support didn’t materialize, so we were deligthed to wire Ruben 500 euros to support his 2024 journey.
Check out Ruben with the research submersible “Alvin” in October 2023 below, and in Perth (November 2024) above.
