This moment captures a crucial stage in our brainstorming process. Gathered around the laptop, we exchanged ideas with urgency, each contribution shaping the foundation of our community-based research. Each person bringing unique insights to the table.

There, amidst the haze of tired eyes and furrowed brows, was the quiet resolve of our shared purpose. The world outside felt distant, but here, in this sterile space, every detail mattered.

Through the challenges, deadlines, and stress, their support never wavered. Their constant encouragement made the process not only manageable but enjoyable. This picture represents more than just teamwork—it symbolizes the strength of our partnership and the shared dedication that made this journey possible.
