Reposted by Razi Abdilzadeh 🧬Bornberglab @bornberglab.bsky.social · 08/04/2026This 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. ☀️🌳 041
