Highlights from Our Fourth Lab Symposium 🎉

Post by Irem Erkosan •

On September 15th, the Hyman Lab gathered once again for our fourth lab symposium at the MPI Galeria. These symposia have quickly become a big part of our lab culture—swapping out weekly meetings for a less frequent day-long get-together with deeper discussions, inspiring talks, and plenty of fresh ideas.

We began the day with lab updates—covering ongoing grants, upcoming events, and paper submissions—before moving on to the heart of the symposium: scientific talks from our lab members.
