Happy #WorldBicycleDay to you! In my adulthood, I've only just learned to use my gears. I learned to ride on a hand me down BMX. While in Germany for the 2024 @PSAD_studygroup meeting, I rode my first e-bike. What a luxury!!! (And I only fell off once...)
I had the most wonderful week with this incredibly talented, generous and compassionate group of researchers @feed_uia Here's to lifelong friendships and collaboration 🇳🇴❤️🇦🇺
We feel lucky to have had @ELitterbach visiting this week, all the way from Deakin Univeristy, Australia. Thank you for inspiring discussions about projects on meal research! And thanks for the wonderful laughs and joy shared. We look forward to future collaboration!
