YES: Young Epigenetic Scientists club
YES (Young Epigenetic Scientists) is a club set up in February 2024 in the Epigenetics and Cell Fate Center that gathers Ph.D. students, Post-Docs, and Engineers driven by a common desire to explore life beyond academia. Recognizing the need to understand and prepare for the diverse career pathways available to us, we have come together to promote exchanges outside the academic field.
