Dear all, Great possibility to learn about Biocenter Oulu activities! There are three afternoons in January to hear about what the research groups are currently working on (Jan. 14 and Jan. 21) and what the core facilities provide (Jan. 28). This is a good possibility both for the speakers and the listeners to seek for joint interests and new collaborators, as well as vision the development of services on the campus. Everybody is welcome to join in Zoom!
