Our first common groupmeeting

Today marked the beginning of a new chapter in our scientific journey. Andreas, PI of the Kohler Mito Lab, and I decided to join forces and held our first common group meeting. The decision to meet weekly and discuss our projects with all our team members has already proven to be a game-changer. The scientific discussions are livelier, the input is richer, and the development of ideas is smoother.

A special shout-out to Samantha and Zhwan who presented their Bachelor’s thesis work today. Their presentations were not only informative but also showcased their hard work and dedication. They did an exceptional job and I couldn’t be prouder!

One of the things I valued most about our meeting is the safe space we’ve created. A space where everyone can give and receive feedback, ask questions without fear of being judged, and acknowledge that we are all on different levels, both experience and skill-wise. This atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding is something I truly cherish and aim to maintain in all our future meetings.

Looking forward to more of these meetings and the continued growth of our team. Here’s to more insightful discussions, breakthroughs, and of course, #GroupMeetingSelfies! 🚀

Remember, science is a team sport. And today, we played well.
