    A little bit of math for a Monday morning: Idea + Grit = Results (Yes, in a best-case scenario. But still!) @konvalinka_jan, Director of @IOCBPrague, has an observation to share. Central Europe is full of great #science; shall we take it further? Have a great week, everyone!

    “Imagine you’re launching a local newspaper, and Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein show up at the opening party.”✌️ This is how @konvalinka_jan characterized the presence of several star guests at @IOCBBoston's launch, particularly the visit of Professor Harvey Lodish from @MIT.
