🎒 Back-to-school season is here – and so is the reminder that healthy bones start early

At ECTS, we believe that investing in bone health in young people means investing in healthier futures.

✅ Encourage daily movement
✅ Support calcium+vitamin D intake
✅ Raise awareness of bone health in schools

My lab is happy to host a student from North America for an internship funded by the DAAD this summer. In times like now, we need to strengthen the international bonds in science, no matter what politics is doing.
