Lab Moments
They didn’t just learn science — they helped build a lab family. Ceyhun and Emir, forever my first.
Creative and Committed, aka Şeyma &Mohammad
The meeting ends when Joudi says so, not before!
Our first custom made oxygen chamber!
This is a mens world, to carry the heavy load.
What's up Sena abla and Joudi abla?
Deep focus is our philosophy.
Our lab family in their natural habitat
The three fingers say it all — our lab’s top-secret handshake
When Başkan smiles, the we all smile. Organizer of fun, queen of vibes!
Back in 2019, growing our first E.Coli stocks with Emir and Ceyhun.
Three Seniors, one garden, infinite caffeine-fueled theories.
The weight of science is heavy and real, but not for my dream-team!
Dr. Mr. Frosty. Chillest scientist we’ve ever had.
Asal and Joudi: Defenders of the Lab, Conquerors of the Great Waterbath.
My Powerpuff Girls — sugar, spice, everything nice… and a whole lot of lab skills.
In the hum of the yemekhane, Mohammad and Asal sit side by side— a taste of Iran in every smile
When science isn’t enough… it’s settled at the armwrestling table.
Dr. Sena, deep in precision — isolating brain tissues with the calm focus of a scientist and the hands of a surgeon.
All the hands are pointing at you?! Don’t worry — it just means you’ve been chosen as the VIP of the moment (Very Incredible Presence)
When the tissues light up and so does Sena’s smile!
No entry without ID... but entry into our hearts is free!
Science in the lab, badminton in the garden—Asal and Mohammad mastering both fields!
Serious science talk... or just debating what to order for lunch?
Vay dakhtiloy dakhtiloooy...turkish Halay Dance
I have no idea what Asel and Mohammad are doing here?
Mentor by day, football rival by night!
