Research topics & methods
Some impressions about the research in the OfialLab:
Our new @MSCActions postdoc fellow, Magenta Hensinger, made a video for the #EuropeanResearchersNight that breaks down and showcases how we perform research in our group! Magenta started in June and comes to us from the Brewer group @UVMChemistry. Nice work, Magenta! https://t.co/JGvbIphfMm
