We have have now couple of years our research community's DrugTech's annual meeting called Ruska (translation is something like autumn colors in nature) in Koli, The Northern Karelia's National Park. This year was a bit special and even the name of the event was called "Changing landscape in drug research". This most likely referred to the change of the leader, from Prof. Arto Urtti to Prof. Antti Poso, but we also enjoyed couple of presentation of new members. I also stepped down from the board member duties, while the new board stepped in. Unfortunately, I was able to stay only for the first day and evening, but I enjoyed every moment. Of course, I was also the only one representing the group, mainly because everyone else have been somewhere else in the conferences during this autumn. Adela visited the 14th course on the BBB in CNS Drug Development in Leiden on October 2 - 4 (link). And Santosh is going to Cape Town within couple weeks for the joint meeting of the 23rd International Congress of the International Society for Ethnopharmacology and the 2nd International Congress of the African Phytomedicine Scientific Society (ISE-APSS 2024) conference and for the follow-up research visit in Pretoria in South Africa. So our research has been widely presented in front of different audience this autumn.
