City Halls should inspire civic pride and enhance the aesthetic appeal of public spaces. Let’s take a look at some of the most beautiful city and town halls in Europe:🧵

Yesterday, we turned off the lights in our university greenhouse. Multiple generations of students have conducted their experiments here. Now, we’re preparing for a new chapter and look forward to the opening of our new greenhouse in 2025! #Greenhouse #NewBeginnings

Thinking and brainstorming about educating modern Biologists: yes we can! 💪🧑‍🎓🧬🍃 @kuleuven_fwet

Niet stadsbossen maar stedelijke savannes zijn nodig om een stad 's nachts af te koelen tijdens hittegolven. Een belangrijk wetenschappelijk resultaat door Eva Beele (KULeuven) op basis van het citizen science weerstation-netwerk Leuven.cool! 👉authors.elsevier.com/c/1jA2fcUG5WWYu
