This year, our group traveled to Diever for our retreat. Alongside a series of great talks focused on selection, we enjoyed fun activities like an escape room 👽🧪 and axe throwing 🪓. We also made use of the sunny weather with hikes through the beautiful nature surrounding Diever. ☀️🌳

We were delighted to welcome Aoife McLysaght to Münster as this year’s speaker for our faculty’s annual Bernhard-Rensch Lecture. She gave a great talk on “Unlocking the Evolutionary Potential of Whole Genome Duplication.” Thank you for sharing your insights with us!
