iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This autumn, CEITEC Masaryk University welcomes new junior research group leader Anna Schulten, who explores how plants “remember” environmental conditions. 🌱 We asked her about her research, why she chose CEITEC, and her plans for her new group. 🔗 www.ceitec.eu/anna-schulte...
