A group of young adults, both men and women, are gathered around a table in an indoor setting. They are all wearing face masks. On the table, there are various technical devices and equipment, including a tablet and what looks like a microscope or similar apparatus. A woman on the left is speaking and gesturing with her hands, possibly explaining something to the group. The group appears engaged and attentive to the explanation.
