Progress, Not Perfection — Kohler Proteostasis Lab How a Swedish presentation reminded me that growth happens when we dare to be vulnerable and move long‑term goals into the present.

Our experienced lab members did a great job analyzing, and our bachelor's students joined the discussion, voicing their own opinions. It was a real discussion between team members, and that was delightful to see!

We sparked discussions by showcasing example slides from our own presentations over the years, ranging from our master's studies to PhDs and current work. Encouraged reflection and guided members to discover their own styles. It was a fun and engaging session!

Exciting start to our mini-series on scientific presentation style! Andreas Kohler's group and my lab explored how to design slides, what to include, and what to avoid. We encouraged reflection and guided members to find their own styles. Proud of our teams! 😄

As 2024 ends, we’re reflecting on our first full year as a lab. We’ve made some great memories together as a team and are looking forward to a productive and fun 2025. Wishing everyone a fantastic start to the new year! 🎉 #NewYear #2025Goals #TeamWork #LabLife
