A couple of photos from my performed lecture for the @olfac.bsky.social symposium in Vienna this past week. Thank you so much we all had a blast!

Day 2 of the #OLFAC#Symposium was stimulating our #senses with fascinating lectures of Dorothée King and Hsuan L. Hsu. Gwenn-Aël Lynn took us to space with his lectureperformance. Also our OLFAC team members, Silke Felber, Julia Ostwald and Freda Fiala gave us their insights on the #olfactory. -->
