"Wellness Networking: Connecting Scientists for Balanced Living"
In the fast-paced world of scientific research, maintaining personal wellness can often be a challenge. This session aims to bridge the gap between scientific excellence and personal well-being by providing a platform for scientists to connect, share experiences, and explore strategies for achieving balance in their lives. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share their wellness goals.
