I turned 50 this month, and one of my favourite gifts was this card made by alumni and current members of my research group. It is, and always has been, a privilege to work with the next generation of scientists and watch them flourish

📈 La recerca internacional demostra que els països amb més despesa en beques tenen taxes més baixes d’abandonament escolar. 🔴Catalunya està a la cua d'Europa en inversió en beques. És urgent treballar per una política pròpia de beques. En parlem el 14/2 al @hubsocialbcn! 👇
