The annual Biochemistry Retreat (2024) was held on the 10th of July in the Taku 6 lecture hall. The event was attended by all FU biochemistry research groups as well as many Bachelor’s and Master’s students. A vibrant scientific exchange was ensured through research talks, chalk talks, posters and of course the barbecue at the end of the day. Kudos to all the early-career scientists for their active participation through asking questions, talking (and drawing, in some cases) in front of a large audience and presenting posters! Eagerly waiting for the next year.
