We also got to experience the SPRAAKLAB — a mobile laboratory developed for research in linguistics🗣️✨ Learning about speech perception and production helps us understand how ageing impacts communication! More in: www.rug.nl/research/clc...

We wrapped up with an insightful discussion and future perspectives! 🌟 An engaging and thought-provoking workshop — thank you to the organisers @rug.nl and @unitartupress.bsky.social for an event full of collaboration and networking. #ENLIGHTREACT #AgeingResearch #BiologyOfAging

Thank you to all our ECRs for your brilliant lightning talks at the 1st Thematic Workshop hosted by @rug.nl and @unitartupress.bsky.social ⚡️Your work and enthusiasm made this session truly inspiring!

How much do you know about the ageing immune system? We definitely learnt a lot! Nothing like a good quiz to test our immune system knowledge 🦠 Such a fun and engaging session! @unitartupress.bsky.social #ENLIGHTREACT #Immunology @rug.nl

Chinna Susan Philip @unitartupress.bsky.social on Stress and immune system @react-enlight.bsky.social workshop @rug.nl

So nice to meet @react-enlight.bsky.social members in person, at today’s workshop @rug.nl on Modern Perspectives on the Biology of Aging

Now the @unitartupress.bsky.social afternoon of the @react-enlight.bsky.social workshop on modern perspectives on the biology of aging by Pärt Peterson on the aging immune system

And now @miles2708.bsky.social is talking about non-invasive neurophysiological and stimulation methods for a modern perspective on aging @react-enlight.bsky.social @rug.nl

At the @react-enlight.bsky.social @rug.nl now Niki Gervais is giving a workshop on the neurobiology of menopause

Great talk from postdoc Natalia Ortí on Targeting neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases! 🧠✨ #ENLIGHTREACT #AgeingResearch #Neurodegeneration @rug.nl

Hannah Dugdale on Evolutionary Medicine and Aging at the first ENLIGHT-REACT workshop 'Modern Perspectives on the Biology of Ageing' @react-enlight.bsky.social @rug.nl

We’ve arrived in Groningen! Excited to connect and exchange ideas on ageing research from diverse perspectives. A big thank you to the organisers @rug.nl and #UniversityofTartu #AgeingResearch #ENLIGHTREACT #BiologyOfAging #Networking

As part of @react-enlight.bsky.social we have a public lecture next Thursday on the evolution of ageing across the tree of life by @yagmurerten.bsky.social, come along! 👇
