Day 2 of the EMBO U-ExM Workshop at EMBL Heidelberg #EMBOExM. Gels are ready and expanding nicely! We also had a lively poster session and inspiring talks from @sabsalon.bsky.social and @gautamdey.bsky.social. A very engaged group, great to see such thoughtful discussions around expansion microscopy

Christmas party 🎄- The lab went full senior mode (and won the best costume). You all rock 😄 !!!!!! (If you’re wondering where the youth went… check who’s been quietly draining the lab’s energy 😈)
