A short look at scientific research stories that we didn't mention in the podcast because they mainly happened before its launch. We talk about two new institutions: ESRIC and UNIVERSEH. Then we tell you more about interesting research at LIH, University of Luxembourg and LIST to finish off with a pub quiz question related to the FNR Awards 2020.
