Charlotte Christie Petersen, Désirée Kunkel, and Marjolijn Hameetman

Today, our host Peter O’Toole sits down with Charlotte Christie Petersen, Désirée Kunkel, and Marjolijn Hameetman.

Together, they share the story behind the European Flow Core Meeting: a virtual event created to bring flow cytometry core facility staff together across countries, career stages, and facility sizes.

They reflect on why the meeting matters, from helping people share hard-won experience to giving core facility staff a stronger sense of community and recognition.

Along the way, they also share a few more personal stories: unexpected hobbies, cytometer mishaps, and how flow cytometry shaped not just a career, but a life.
