I received my first grant! 🥳
I was awarded the UZH Candoc grant 2025 (>61k CHF) by the University of Zurich. What a major highlight during my PhD 💃🎉

Other highlights this year: poster at my 1st ESCMIDglobal (with 2 travel grants!), 2 local conferences, a hackathon in London and a cover photo 📸

The winning cover photo is a picture of the Jungfraujoch Research Station peaking out of the fog, in the background, the rock face of the "Mönch" mountain covered in snow. The picture was taken during a field excursion, investigating the Air Microbiome at 3500m above sea level.
