Who would have thought that there could be snow in Italy in February? Simone and I went on a roadtrip to the GRC Mitochondria Health and Disease together with our colleagues from the Misgeld lab, as sharing a car was cheaper than four flights to Pisa and a rental car from there. But on our way back we took the “scenic route” and our trusty car had to go up many serpentine roads through enchanted snowy forests and tiny villages. Kudos to Thomas for driving!
