 # 🚀 2024: A SPOC-tacular Year in Review 🌌  
 
-As we orbit the end of another stellar year, let’s engage warp drive and reflect on the out-of-this-world achievements of the [**Single-cell & sPatial Omics Community (SPOC 🖖))](https://galaxyproject.org/community/sig/singlecell/). From launching new tools to charting new tutorials, SPOC’s journey through the Galaxy (platform) has been nothing short of cosmic! 🌠

 ## 🌟 The Mission: Empowering Single-Cell Scientists  
 This year, we continued to boldly go where no omics community has gone before, propelling the SPOC ecosystem beyond single-cell RNA sequencing. With new training materials, tools, and workflows, our community has bridged the gap between transcriptomics, multiomics, and even spatial data analysis, ensuring that researchers have the tools they need to explore biological frontiers. Think of it as assembling the ultimate research starship! 🚀
