Awaiting Pez’s presentation of WAMBIAN - iNAMES efforts to strengthen ties between local and international research and to create a network for West African scientists interested in using microscopy!
May 22, 2025 at 4:23 PM
Dr. Pez Hayes, alongside our iNAMES students, taught a workshop in Dakar, Senegal, supported by iNAMES, to help transform the landscape of microscopy in West Africa. Today, Pez is presenting their story! @eu-life.bsky.social #ScienceVision
We’re live at #mdcBerlin for the EU-LIFE Science Vision Talk Contest!
Cheering for bold ideas, big visions, and a united European science community.
And of course, we’re rooting for our candidate Pez – go for it!
