Ooh, fancy! We went fine dining this time around. Interesting, beautifully plated dishes and good company. What’s not to like?

Another hefty chunk of change has been added to our coffers to keep the science going! Thank you to Sigrid Jusélius Foundation for their considerable grant to our boss, Kai.

That’s a tiny percentage, isn’t it? Our leader, Kai Kaarniranta, resides well within that portion amongst the world’s experts in macular degeneration, now ranking at the 20th spot! Big applause!

No no, we didn’t turn into pirates. We just got together (this time properly) to celebrate our latest publication in Ageing Research Reviews. Big hand to all involved parties!

As we got a paper published and another one accepted, it is only right to go outside in the fresh air to celebrate and appreciate the white snow and blue skies! (Well, in spirit anyways. The photo is definitely photoshopped.)

I mean, we got featured on the cover of the December 2020 edition of Oftalmolog (link to the .pdf file), a Nordic ophthalmology magazine! Huge thanks to Oftalmolog for this opportunity to spread our group’s name far and wide!

Despite the current times, being jolly and having fun (safely) is still an important thing. This year, we once again got together with our friends to celebrate Christmas time with some good old glögi and various tasty treats. Afterwards we had a traditional Finnish Christmas dinner Chinese food at Dragon Sheng. Good times, haha.
