Today we started off the week with updates from our postdoc Cecilia Costas Selas on the impact of #phytoplankton #blooms on #VOCs. This is from the #seawater samples she and Eve Galen collected during a bloom last year.

New year, new schedule for our @voltcenter.bsky.social- all meetings!
We kickoff with a great presentation by Sana James on the dataset she has been working on: high monoterpenoid emissions from Scots pine litter controlled by moisture.

This week we had the pleasure of hosting the @dg.dk annual visit to @voltcenter.bsky.social. As always, it was time to reflect on the success of the past year, and what a joy it was to relive all the highlights through @riikkarinnan.bsky.social's presentation!

A formal self-introduction for a less formal audience. After being with us for a while, we finally got to "formally" hear from visiting postdoc Junyu Dong about his previous work in China, and a bit of his project with #VOCs here at @voltcenter.bsky.social 😄

@voltcenter.bsky.social has been buzzing with scientific, outreach, and social activities! Here are some more pics from the Center camera roll, starting with Mathilda's PhD startup talk, Hongliang's updates and the crafts club where spooky decorations were made to dot around the Center!

The @voltcenter.bsky.social #data #visualization #hackathon was fuelled by sandwiches, coffee breaks and pizza. After all thinking, drawing and troubleshooting, there were presentations over breakfast and przes for the best solution and most collaborative team. Everyone came up with great ideas!

Last weekend, VOLT joined the #Fungi Festival🍄🍄🟫.
Visitors got to hear a talk on hidden #fungaldiversity in #caves, and explored a collaborative booth. Here they could peek at fungal cultures under a microscope🔬, watch a short film highlighting the research, and learn about cave fungi and #VOCs.

We just received a "postcard" from #Barcelona!
@voltcenter.bsky.social's postdoc Cecilia Costas Selas and PhD student Eve Galen are attending the #SAME18 #aquatic #microbes #conference.
Enjoy the sunshine and the talks, posters and discussions!

The last day was reserved to discuss risk taking at @dg.dk @voltcenter.bsky.social and some early career researchers did short presentations and we discussed what scientific work can be done in the future.

Dinner was with a sea view and the sun was setting. Then, it was time for karaoke, that included many languages, genres and even dance and headbanging!

Thanks @danilloalvarenga.bsky.social for organising, we had a blast!
There were even cards for teams to ask for help, and baskets with beverages to keep us fresh and hydrated!
