Thank you to everyone who joined us at BSNR 2024 in Bristol – it was a fantastic trainee day and conference organised by an enthusiastic team from Bristol led by Dr Melissa Werndle and event organiser Louise Richards. There were numerous highlights in a packed and innovative programme, including the Brian Kendall lecture delivered by Professor Emmanuel Houdart from Paris, the James Bull lecture delivered by Professor Nick Fox from London, and a fascinating array of excellent guest speakers on topics from the rise of medical misinformation (Dr David Grimes) to equity in genomics (Professor Kathreena Kurian), as well as a charming after dinner talk from Dr Sian Williams. The programme is available to download here. Our thanks to Mel, Louise and all of the Bristol organising team.
