At the beginning of October 2024, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rikka Hofmann, whose visit proved to be a truly enriching experience for our community. The focus of our discussions was her innovative research, particularly a new methodological approach to qualitative research. Rikka’s insights offered us fresh perspectives and challenged us to rethink our practices.

Our conversations went beyond methodology, delving into the philosophy of science. These thought-provoking exchanges allowed us to take a step back and reflect on the broader context of our daily scientific work. Rikka’s visit left us inspired and eager to integrate new ways of thinking into our research endeavors. We are looking forward to collaborating with her in the future.
