Happy Pi Day from EMGS! Today we celebrate π, a constant that reminds us how essential precision, pattern, and curiosity are to scientific discovery. Every calculation, model, and dataset brings us closer to understanding genome integrity and environmental impacts on human health. Here’s to our researchers who keep pushing the boundaries of what we can measure, model, and imagine. #PiDay #EMGS #Genomics #Mutagenesis
