On May 19, the second ultra-low-background HPGe spectrometer, based on a large SAGe-geometry crystal, was received as part of the Jagiellonian Advanced Screening at Canfranc (JASC) project. The spectrometer has been installed in the clean room of Hall C and cooled with liquid nitrogen, awaiting the next calibration steps and the shielding that will complete its installation. Researchers from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków travelled to the LSC to oversee the process. Following the established naming convention, the detector has been christened GeRysy II.

From May 12th to 14th, the LSC held the second edition of its Science Classroom for 2nd-year secondary school students, bringing together 40 students from five schools in Navarra and Valladolid. During these days, the students enjoyed a scientific programme specially designed for them, including physics, chemistry and biology workshops, as well as talks and experimental activities that allowed them to carry out their own field measurements and experience science in a practical and engaging way. We hope this experience has inspired you to continue discovering the world of science.

We are celebrating! Our colleague Beatriz Hernández, now Dr. Hernández, has successfully defended her doctoral thesis "The role of neutrinos in the formation and evolution of the Universe". All of us here at LSC are incredibly proud of this major achievement and happy to have supported Beatriz throughout this journey of research and discovery. We wish her every success in all the scientific challenges to come. Congratulations, Bea! The universe (and your career) has no limits.

The LSC, as the scientific hub of Aragon, hosted the first round of this championship, where pupils had the opportunity to get an up-close look at our research centre, its facilities and the professionals who work here.
