Congratulations Mariola, we’re so happy to see you recognized for your amazing work! 👏👏👏
A beautiful inauguration at @WNS_US It's nice to receive an award but it's even nicer to be part of such community. Things are not going well in Polish science but things are going well at @USinKatowice The choir was amazing🥹 students got Silesian 🍰 my friends 💐for promotion.

Great discussion at the BrainMind summit featuring @Anjan435 in the company of other thought leaders driving arts science research. It's not every day that a panel features dancing and breathing exercises!

Jeffrey Vadala is not only a great teacher to these students, but to all of us here in the lab! Our discussions about VR and AI have expanded our research horizons in ways we couldn't have anticipated two years ago
