Marthe chaired the pre-course day of the International Student Congress Of (bio)Medical Sciences. On the first day of this congress, the students were treated to a great line-up of plenary speakers, and could choose from a variety of workshops from the biomedical sciences.
At the Betamasterclass organized by the KNG and ScienceLinx, Marthe gave a short lecture entitled ‘Sugars: healthy or not?’ for high school students. In only 15 minutes, they learned about the structure and function of different sugars.
Marthe delivered a lecture entitled ‘Glycobiology: the study of sugars in health and disease’ at the Oncology Research Meeting at the University Medical Center Groningen. With an audience with diverse backgrounds (doctors, researchers, analysts from medical oncology, gynecology, pulmonology), there was an inspiring discussion afterwards!
We hosted Justin Ragains from the Louisiana State University for a department seminar. He gave an inspiring lecture on photochemistry and carbohydrates. Check out his website: https://faculty.lsu.edu/ragains/index.php
