Many thanks to awesome Ruogu Fang of the SMILE LAB for the news Awards The prestigious Latsis University prize was awarded to awesome Mara Graziani. “To all future generations of PhD’s,” Mara said, “my advice is to remain curious, seek innovation where needed, even when others at first may doubt its possibility. Pursue high quality work always, and stay true to your values and beliefs. It will bring you a long way!”
