🚆 Heading back from my beloved Aarhus 🇩🇰 after a superb 28th European Brain Barriers Meeting 2026. So nice to present my work and reconnect with the brain barriers community, but also to catch up with friends from my internship days at Aarhus University and wander around the city again. 🤗

The registration for the 17th YEN conference is now open. The YEN conference is also an incredible place for ECRs to network with other ECRs and established researchers in the field of Developmental Biology. And did we mention that it is FREE to attend? So what are you waiting for?

Today, during the Open Day at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, I had the chance to help my department showcase our research and guide prospective bachelor students through our labs. 🔬🧪 I hope we sparked some interest and inspired a future scientist! ✨👩‍🔬👨‍🔬
