"Marta is an amazing scientist and human being from every aspect. She's clever, hardworking, and a natural team player. Always ready to help others and cheer us up with cookies and encouragement, Marta is a pillar of our laboratory. She has a very challenging role that requires coming to the lab 7/7 and a lot of troubleshooting. Still, Marta always faces challenges with enthusiasm, resilience, and patience. She's also the "glue" of our team, helping the team to feel at home and in a fun place. Marta is awesome, we need more Martas in this world!"
