Yesterday’s dinner get-together at the Rheinterrassen 🍻 – the perfect way to relax and enjoy Mannheim the local way.
Ready to start the penultimate day of this year's #GESISfallseminar!
Had so much fun at #GESISfallseminar in Mannheim and learned a lot — really looking forward to applying these new skills! 🤖
