Welcome to the August edition of the ABNA exchange newsletter. We’ll let you decide whether this is our most fun edition yet, but it’s certainly packed with exciting updates. Inside, you’ll find the latest on our fast-approaching conference, the announcement of the ABNA Emerging Leader Scholarship winners, and a fascinating feature on seed banking—including details of the seed bankers’ upcoming conferences. You’ll also find our regular favourites: Careers in Focus, 5 Minutes with a Biobanker, Biobanking in the News, and more. So, grab a cuppa, get comfortable, and enjoy the read!
Also, if you have not registered or submitted an abstract for the conference, there is still time! You have until September 8 to submit your abstract. Take a little tour of our website for the list of confirmed speakers, take a look at the draft program and the Newcastle conference corner blog for ideas and information on accommodation.
