So happy to visit Sheffield again to share our research and discuss science with brilliant minds.

Also finally visited the site of Krebs’s original lab 🙂

Had a fantastic time at the INSERM grant review panel in Paris. It was truly inspiring to see so many talented young scientists; but only then you realize how challenging it is to choose the best among them.
A great learning experience, without a doubt.
