SEB MAGAZINE WINTER ISSUE 2024 IS ALMOST THERE
The winter issue of SEB Magazine is almost here! Dive into "Beyond the Code", where we explore the hidden layers of biological regulation that go beyond DNA.
Packed with cutting-edge research, inspiring member stories, and exclusive insights, this edition promises to captivate and inspire.
Stay tuned for its release!
CONTRIBUTE TO THE ASK A SCIENTIST PROJECT
This project was developed and delivered in two public engagement events we hosted this year, where the attendees could ask questions for scientists. We posted the questions on our website and need scientists to answer them!
The attendees have the webpage address, so they can go there and check the answers to their questions. Please look at these thought-provoking questions and reply to the ones you feel comfortable with through the form.
For more information and to access the form, visit:
