Visiting Lodz in October 2019

It is almost a year now when I visit my collaborator Dr. Magdalena Markowicz-Piasecka at the Medical University of Lodz. It was a very nice visit, Magdalena had organized everything for me, so I really felt appreciated. The lecture that I gave was probably for the biggest audience ever, although the students were quite shy to continue the discussion afterward. But like I was told, they don't have that many international visitors too often giving lectures or seminars to the students.

It was also amazing to see how old and new world were nicely mixed up at the university! The city of Lodz was also a mixture of old and new, but very nice place, indeed! And this time of year, when coming from rainy and dark Finland, it almost felt like a summer to me, despite of the one foggy day!

This year, the visit would have not been possible due to COVID-19, so I'm glad we able to do it finally and I think we got many new ideas and nice discussion how to take our mutual research to the next level. So Thank you Magdalena, one more time!

And specking of our mutual research, our latest metformin paper was accepted and came out in Phamaceuticals-journal this week, so congratulations, team! (the link to the paper)
