I’ve always had a soft spot for scientific images from CEITEC MUNI research (@ceitec.eu @masarykuniversity.bsky.social). But nothing beats the moment when our researchers stop by in person and hand me a @nivbcz.bsky.social publication where their work is featured. Made my day @labvacha.bsky.social!
