First pizza lunch after a whirlwind week moving into our brand-new research building. Exhausted, but absolutely thrilled by the incredible facilities & lab space. Can’t wait to dive back into science.
A few benches are still waiting for curious minds: PhD students and postdocs, come join us! 😉

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field
