Molecular plant biologist Prof. Daan Weits from the Utrecht University visited KAUST to give us a talk on the topic "Low oxygen, key ingredient of the plant stem cell niche". Before his talk, directly after his arrival at KAUST he joined the community event Run for Cure. He explored part of KAUST by fast running and he got second place in a 5 km race. Rest of the week he enjoyed tours at KAUST, CDA Lab, Core Lab, he was busy with meetings with scientists from KAUST and he also tried snorkeling in Red sea, visited Al Balad and other nice places in Saudi Arabia.
