It’s so empowering to learn with and from people around the world 🌍
Different cultures, same love for knowledge & science.
Makes me wish we could live in such a world everywhere — united by curiosity, not borders. ✨📚

Just wrapped up 3 days of amazing talks from all over the world of photochemistry — feeling inspired and a bit tired (in the best way)!
Huge thanks to the organizers for putting together such a fantastic and well-organized conference 🙌

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

Tento týden jsme v nadaci přivítali milou návštěvu – naši stipendistku Annu Poryvai.

Do Česka zavítala až ze švýcarské École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, kam v roce 2022 vyjela na zahraniční stáž s podporou Nadace Experientia a kde nyní působí. 🇨🇭

Děkujeme za příjemné letní setkání! 🍀

Big thanks to the amazing Global SNF volunteers for an inspiring summer meeting! 💡 Loved the honest dialogue with SNSF board members on challenges early-career researchers face—and how grant schemes can better support us. 💬
