Congratulations to the Winter and Spring recipients of the DIGS-BB travel and training awards! This time, the training award trip leads to an EMBO workshop in the UK, and three travel award trips lead to conferences in the US. DIGS-BB offers 1,500€ to cover cost of travel, lodging and conference fees, allowing the selected candidates to expand their science network and discuss science matters with international peers in their field or seek for Postdoc position opportunities.
