Title: The regulatory role of GABA during dark-induced leaf senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana

Supervisor: Olivier Keech

The UPSC employee survey identified stress and recovery as an important area to focus on and now we are taking some steps to address the problem.
 
Our occupational health care provider will give a lecture on the topic on the 13th of June at 09.00 – 10.15 in the Carl Kempe salen.
 
The lecture will include information about long-term and short-term stress, the importance of recovery in everyday life (private and at work), what happens in the body during stress and recovery, practical strategies to slow down, take control of what you yourself can influence and let go of what you cannot influence. Interactive features such as breathing exercises and shorter question and answer sessions are also included.
 
Everyone at UPSC is welcome and encouraged to attend!
