I won the FIRST place in the flash talk competition at #GLPSC2025 🍀
I must admit, it was unexpected because this was my first flash talk and let me tell you; explaining what you do in 3 minutes is not easy!
Thanks to organizers of #GLPSC2025 for the opportunity to share my work on 🌱 and space 🛰️

Such a timely and important work! 👇
It was an incredible experience to be a part of the ROOT&SHOOT Inclusive Conference Committee (rootandshoot.org). I learned a lot in our discussions. It is always great to connect with like-minded people for an important goal: inclusive scientific environment 🌸
