On Monday this week, September 23, 2024, we had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Reimo Zoschke, Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam as a guest speaker in our Research Training Group in Kaiserslautern. We would like to thank Reimo for his fascinating talk entitled “Deciphering molecular mechanisms of translational regulation in plants” and the very interesting and inspiring round table discussion with our doctoral students before the lecture.
