Won Gustav Rosenberger Memorial Fund!!!

I was awarded this year's prestigious Gustav Rosenberger Memorial Award (GMRF) valued at 10000 euros. This was awarded by the GRMF committee and the financial sponsor was Boehringer Ingelheim (BI), a multinational pharmaceutical company in Germany. Though I was sponsored to attend the World Buiatrics Congress in Madrid, Spain, (Sep 4-8) by BI, I couldn't attend it because of visa issues. However, Dr. Tim Nickel from BI visited the University of Calgary and we had a short celebration program along with my supervisor and peers. There was a virtual zoom program for the award distribution which was attended by the delegates from BI and World Association for Buiatrics (WAB). The award is provided to an emerging bovine veterinarian and I was provided this to fund my current graduate research in bovine foot rot and bovine digital dermatitis. We celebrated the program with some coffee, cake, and donuts!

IMPACTT/IMC Microbiome Bioinformatics workshop!

An amazing end to a wonderful program. This workshop organized by International Microbiome Center (IMC) and Integrated Microbiome Platforms for Advancing Causation Testing and Translation (IMPACTT) was held between May 30, 2022 to Jun 1, 2022. It was amazing to meet scholars affiliated to various Canadian universities and organizations. I got to learn a about 16s sequencing and related data analysis (which is closely related to my master's project) and other aspects of metagenomics. Overall, worth an experience!

I've attached the details of the schedule of the program.
