Amayra Hernández-Vega concluded a 6-year service in the Hyman Lab this November as a postdoc, with an impressive track record of publications and scientific outreach (see below).
Amayra’s farewell had to be done in compliance with Coronavirus-safety measures, but a bigger celebration is planned when the pandemic eases up.
Amayra, we wish you a smooth start in Barcelona and look forward to welcoming you again in Dresden!
