The MPI of Cell Biology and Genetics (CBG) traditionally has an internal seminar, weekly on Fridays. It used to showcase achievements of students and PostDocs after 2-3 years of work, thus keeping the whole CBG community informed of the different types of research being done at the institute. The format was now changed to two presentations: 30 minutes + questions for a speaker with 2-3 years of research behind them, and 10 minutes without questions for a student or PostDoc in their first year of research. On Friday, October 2nd, Shai and Lennart were the first members of the Vastenhouwlab to present in the new format. While the hour from 16:00-17:00 was rather packed, it was good to present a very accomplished work alongside new ideas and first experimental results.
