Marietta who started her PhD in May 2016 defended her PhD thesis on symmetry breaking in gastruloids. First, she gave a presentation of her PhD project in front of family, friends and colleagues either present in the room or via Zoom and afterwards was examined by Prisca, Fiona Doetsch, Madeline Lancaster, Jörg Betschinger and Marc Bühler. Her performance was honoured by the lab with a gastruloid-shaped piñata, an extensively decorated PhD hat and lots of confetti (Liberali lab-style).
