Congratulations to Noemi Iwicki on being selected for the Max Planck Society’s ARTEMIS program! 👏 It supports early-career researchers through bilateral mentorship between MPIs and African institutions. 🌍 Noemi is looking forward to meeting Taona Emmah Mudhluli from Zimbabwe!
Organizing guest seminars lets you shape discussions and build connections. 💡 IMPRS-CBP student Ada Rivero hosted two and, despite the workload, found it rewarding. ➡️ Read about her favorite moments from the latest talk. #phdlife #networking #womeninscience #biophysics
