For this year's summer outing, Team PsyGenOmics went pottery painting.☕🎨 This was a challenge on another level compared to our typical science questions, but we had lots of fun being creative. Highly recommend @jaenice.bsky.social as your team's social event planner!

Next week, the Pint of Science festival is taking place across Germany. On Tuesday in Bonn, @kilarski.bsky.social and @lea202.bsky.social will be give a talk about the human genome, come and tlak to us 🧬 The festival is happening in many cities, so check out the programme and see what’s on near you.

It’s Carnival in the Rheinland and of course we celebrated 🎭 Yesterday we swapped lab coats and computers for costumes and balloons. @aydaabol.bsky.social designed and made her beautiful flower costume herself and very deservedly took 2nd place in the costume competition.

Last Friday our group swapped laptops and pipettes for axes 🪓🎯 At our belated summer outing we had a blast trying out axe throwing together. And fittingly, the three wisest (not oldest 😉) members of the team took home the win in one of our competitions. There is proof in the pictures! 🪓👑
