We had super interesting afternoon today at Biosafe, many thanks to Pauliina Halimaa and Pilvi Ruotsalainen for accommodating us! During this company visit, we got a chance to visit Biosafe laboratory facilities and then hear more about the company activities. We also had few participants via Zoom. It was a pleasure to also have Pilvi sharing her career path into current position as a Project manager in the #microbiology team, because Pilvi is the former board member of our society. This really made the visit even more special😊 Thank you! #FinnishSocietyForCellBiology #SuomenSolubiologit
