We are pleased to officially open submissions for the EcotoxicoMic YR Meme* Contest 2025, held in association with the upcoming EcotoxicoMic YR Webinar!
This contest aims to celebrate humor, creativity and daily scientific life within our community of microbial ecotoxicologists and microbial ecologists. Memes are a fun way to share the reality of research, from lab benches to data analysis struggles.
We are looking forward to your most creative, funny and scientifically inspired memes. Let’s showcase the humorous side of microbial ecotoxicology and ecology! And follow us on Instagram (@EcotoxicoMic).
(*Meme: A meme is an image accompanied by humorous text that illustrates a concept, idea, or recurring situation; in this case, related to microbial ecotoxicology or the everyday life of scientists in the lab.)
