A short german article in a printed magazine regarding the launch of the Lunchbox seminar series. Also features a a small poster with QR Code for the series and the author faces (Louica Philipp and Korinna Allhoff)
A small German article in a printed magazine that is held by a hand. The article is a report of the 2025 workshop of the Young Modellers in Ecology (YoMos), written by co-speaker Lisa Merkens. Also features a group picture from in front of the seminar house the workshop took place in.
Look @yomoseco.bsky.social, we're in the (GfΓ-) news! I thought I had read that they would now only publish their magazine digitally, but here it is in print, delivered to all our doorsteps βΊοΈ
