Swedish summer finally arrived 🌞
Instead of sweating in the lab, we teamed up with Kohler Mitolab for a hike + BBQ at beautiful Strömbäck-Kont!
Games, views, food, and fun — perfect way to kick off the season.

Our experienced lab members did a great job analyzing, and our bachelor's students joined the discussion, voicing their own opinions. It was a real discussion between team members, and that was delightful to see!

Kohler Proteostasis Lab @vkohler-lab.bsky.social · Apr 4

We sparked discussions by showcasing example slides from our own presentations over the years, ranging from our master's studies to PhDs and current work. Encouraged reflection and guided members to discover their own styles. It was a fun and engaging session!

Exciting start to our mini-series on scientific presentation style! Andreas Kohler's group and my lab explored how to design slides, what to include, and what to avoid. We encouraged reflection and guided members to find their own styles. Proud of our teams! 😄
