The IMBIT mastered its power outage test without trouble - thanks to our giant generator and the helping hands. Note to self: connect coffee machine to an uninterruptible power supply - surviving on cafeteria coffee was tough. @uni-freiburg.de @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social @brainworlds.bsky.social

Really had to look hard this morning to find the IMBIT. @brainworlds.bsky.social @biologyunifreiburg.bsky.social @uni-freiburg.de #autumn #fog
