Proud owner of a new conditioning setup. 😀

Last week, 130 researchers of the #SFBTRR393 & invited guests gathered at Kulturrathaus Dresden for an inspiring retreat. 4 days of sharing recent results, discussing new directions, and strengthening collaborations across sites. More & more difficult to get everyone into one photo, but we managed!

Super inspiring talk at the SFB/TRR 393 retreat by Samuel Swidzinski, author of "Winning the War with Bipolar" and the host of the "Winning the War Within" podcast.
