Two PhD defense exams in two days. The second generation of SMARTIES PhDs successfully finished. Looking back on many adventures with such a great team while the SMARTIES were growing! CONGRATULATIONS Mathias and Daniel!

Beginning of september the smarties met at the Zoo Vivarium. We enjoyed one of the last sunny and warm summer days with our colleagues between otters, zebras and butterflies.
