Just spent an incredible 4 days at the IMPRS LIFE Academy in Berlin! It was such a privilege to learn more about human development alongside this wonderful community of kind and brilliant minds. Heading back home feeling inspired and grateful 🍃
The Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin is currently hosting the LIFE Fall Academy with fellows and faculty from all four sites: from institutions in Berlin and the Universities of Michigan, Virginia, and Zurich.
