As the second installment of the “Career Talk Series by Scientists,” we are pleased to present a career talk by Aleksandra Gavrilova, a PhD student at OIST from Russia.

This workshop offers hands-on microscope activities with OIST geologist Mirona Chirienco, exploring the rocks and minerals found in Okinawa.

The Falling Walls Lab is an interdisciplinary format to showcase the next generation of top researchers developed and hosted annually by the Falling Walls Foundation in Berlin in November. In 3–minute talks, outstanding talents and innovative thinkers share their research projects, business models and social initiatives with an interdisciplinary audience and jury. Academic institutions worldwide are invited to host their own Falling Walls Lab and to send their winner/s to the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin.
