On May 9th, Elyne and Hannah volunteered at Ekoli’s Questival, a science outreach initiative specifically aimed at children from more socially and economically challenging backgrounds, for whom access to scientific activities is not always self‑evident.
During the event, we introduced the children to oobleck, a playful and surprising non‑Newtonian fluid. Through hands‑on experimentation, the children discovered how oobleck can behave like a solid when pressure is applied, yet flow like a liquid when handled gently. This interactive approach allowed complex scientific concepts to be explained in an accessible, engaging, and inclusive way.

Ever wondered what lab work looks like? Here’s a look behind the scenes. 😀

Dr. Rita Fior visited Ghent to deliver a keynote lecture at the Priomic OncoPoint Meeting, where she presented an excellent and inspiring talk. Her visit also offered a nice opportunity for Rita and Kathleen to reconnect and exchange thoughts on science and beyond. 

Victory for our team at the CMB Quiz. After an evening full of challenging questions, teamwork, and plenty of enthusiasm, we were proud to take home the win.
