We are looking for a new head for our bio-imaging core facility. This facility houses an impressive machine park and is really a splendid opportunity for anyone with a keen interest in pushing the boundaries of imaging and engineering: vib.be/en/technologies/jobs#…

I can only loudly amplify this

''We should listen to initiatives like @EU_Brain #Pledge4Science which ask us to support research on neurodegenerative & psychiatric diseases.
We should record with this scientific community that #animaltesting has saved & will continue to save lives'', says @IzaskunBilbaoB MEP.
