Creativity. Mental Health. Motivation! In our lab, the focus is on scientific excellence - but also beyond. Chemistry requires dedication and a high potential to withstand frustration. By nurturing our creative side whenever possible, balancing workload with mental health (it is why we used to go running twice a week together, during work hours), and training soft skills like presentation skills, giving the lead when writing manuscripts, abstracts and proposals, and enabling ownership of projects – we have grown into a coherent and resilient team.
