Conferences are valuable sources of inspiration for scientists. Latest results are presented, celebrated, or challenged. Poster sessions, coffee breaks, and conference dinners create a vibrant atmosphere, where novel hypotheses are formed, and in the best cases, seed the idea for important, new developments. But inspiration is not enough, as we all know. Method development is tedious and requires a favourable mixture of expertise, perseverance, and frustr
