The Education Plenary talk given by Robert Harris (Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm)
As part of the 49th FEBS Congress 2025, held in Istanbul, Türkiye, Prof. Bob Harris, with his trademark style, kicked off with an energizing session and didn’t just give a talk—he activated the room! Just look at this moment …and how he got everyone to stand up, shake off the mental dust, and focus:
His talk — “Learning how to be a better researcher and educator by doing research and teaching – the Yin Yang perspective” — was a perfect reminder of the interconnectedness of what we do.
We also had the pleasure of connecting live with Prof. Yoav Arava, recipient of the 2025 FEBS Education Award. Joining us online, Prof. Arava shared his reflections, insights, and heartfelt thoughts on receiving the award and on the evolving landscape of science education.
