The meeting was organized by the Spanish Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (SEBBM), along with the Portuguese Society for Biochemistry (SPB) as a partner society. The main theme of the Congress was “From Single Molecules to Systems Biology”. Recent spectacular advances in “-omic” disciplines and information technology have led to multidisciplinarity and integration becoming key features of post-genomic and proteomic research. Genes, gene products, their regulatory networks and their interactions with their environment must be analyzed not only at the molecular level, but also as components of higher order structures, metabolic pathways or entire cells and organisms. This branch of research, termed “Systems Biology”, combines concepts in a holistic approach from molecular biology, engineering sciences, mathematics and information technology to complex biological systems such as living cells. We would like to praise the excellent scientific level of all abstracts submitted. With a total of 1,854 abstracts approved, 1,689 posters and 122 oral communications were presented. We would also like to highlight the awarding of registration fee waivers to 498 PhD students and young scientists. The Congress brought together 59 exhibitors and 2,454 participants from 73 different countries spanning five continents. Events and speakers reflected great geographical diversity as well as the important contributions made by both sexes. The female:male participant ratio was 55:45. A total of 20 plenary lectures, including those of six Nobel Laureates, and 137 symposium and workshop lectures were delivered by internationally renowned experts in their fields. Of particular note is that both the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and the European Research Council (ERC) organized sessions during the congress, thus strengthening FEBS’ and IUBMB’ links and collaboration with these major European science organizations. The program of the meeting followed the standard format for typical FEBS and IUBMB Congresses, with morning and evening sessions running over six days. Additionally, it incorporated the main events of the SEBBM Congress, including the meetings of its 20 scientific groups and lectures delivered by researchers from Argentina, Chile and Mexico. As local organizers, we intended to add value to the Congress experience by developing new ideas and creating novel activities, such as the ‘Biochemistry in Cuisine’ to show scientific principles underlying modern gastronomy, the ‘Guided Poster Tour’ to facilitate the exchange between speakers and poster presenters, and the ‘Portrait Gallery’ to honor 24 outstanding female scientists. Also worth a special mention is the ‘Abstract Search Online Service’ by which all approved abstracts were made available on the official website about a month prior to the congress, allowing participants to comfortably decide in advance which poster to visit and which presentation to attend. Other novel Services such as the Conference App, the Child Care at the venue, or the Poster Printing On Site were also very much appreciated. — 3 — General Remarks Immediately prior to the Congress, the 12th FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum was held as a joint event with the IUBMB Young Scientists Program, and also along with the FEBS Fellows Meeting for the first time, involving circa 150 outstanding young scientists. The joint meeting took place from 1st to 4th September 2012 in Costa Ballena, on the Southern Coast of Spain. With the goal of bringing science closer to a wider audience, a number of activities took place under the umbrella of the ‘Biochemistry in the City’ initiative – namely two ‘Round-Tables Open to the Public’ (one on cancer and one on functional food), a course entitled ‘And You? Me, a Biochemist!’ to encourage high school students to study science at university, an Introductory Course in Biochemical Research as well as the science for non-scientists activity ‘Genes in a bottle’ where passers-by could isolate DNA molecules from a buccal swab. In addition, a ‘Meeting with Nobel Laureates’ was held at a downtown hotel with the aim of making people realize how crucial Science is for the future development of the knowledge-based economy. Under the theme “From Single Molecules to Systems Biology”, we hope to have fulfilled delegates’ expectations by providing a quality program and a good arena for expanding knowledge and networking.

We developed CytoCensus: an easily deployed implementation of supervised machine learning that extends convenient 2D ‘point-and- click’ user training to 3D detection of cells in challenging datasets with ill-defined cell boundaries. In tests on such datasets, CytoCensus outperforms other freely available image analysis software in accuracy and speed of cell detection. We used CytoCensus to count stem cells and their progeny, and to quantify individual cell divisions from time-lapse movies of explanted Drosophila larval brains, comparing wild-type and mutant phenotypes. We further illustrate the general utility and future potential of CytoCensus by analysing the 3D organisation of multiple cell classes in Zebrafish retinal organoids and cell distributions in mouse embryos. CytoCensus opens the possibility of straightforward and robust automated analysis of developmental phenotypes in complex tissues. *For correspondence: [email protected] Competing interest: See Introduction page 25 Complex tissues develop through regulated proliferation and differentiation of a small number of Funding: See page 25 stem cells.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
