After a great recess in October, the symposia continued at the IMP with the 40-year IMP anniversary back to back with the Alumni edition of the VBC PhD symposium. It was wonderful to welcome so many familiar faces back to the IMP and to hear a lineup of interesting talks and posters.
Huge congratulations to Josef for winning a poster prize!
Beyond the great science, a definite highlight was the alumni dinner at the Vienna Rathauskeller.
This week, we said goodbye to Lucie and enjoyed some cake…
But it is not a final goodbye as Lucie will be back at the IMP next year to start her Masters in the Obenauf lab. We wish you all the best for your future!
Four members of the Pauli Lab, Ida, Victoria, Theresa, and Ezra, joined fellow VBC PostDocs for a two-day retreat in Brno, Czech Republic.
The retreat kicked off with a visit to the CEITEC Institute, where they toured the Institute’s core facilities and exchanged ideas during a poster session. On the second day, the group explored the Mendel Museum, gaining insight into the life and legacy of Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics. Beyond his groundbreaking pea plant experiments, the group discovered one of Mendel’s lesser-known interests: meteorology. Fun fact: Mendel was the first person to scientifically document a tornado in Europe!
The retreat was a refreshing mix of science, history, and networking - a big thank you to the VBC Postdoc Reps (including Ida) for organising such a great event!
