Invited panelist for the podium discussion on how family background shapes the career paths of young scientists.

Systems neuroscience aims to understand the neural underpinnings of behaviors. While existing setups allow us to record the brain activity of behaving monkeys, the behaviors which can be studied remain restrictive. From field studies on the other hand we know that monkeys like to engage in a variety of full-body behaviors but their neural correlates remain unknown. In my talk I presented (amongst others) videos of our fantastic monkeys interacting in the Exploration Room, which is our novel setup for systems neuroscience studies attempting to narrow the gap.

Knowledge inspires: on Saturday, July 9, 2022, at the fifth Göttingen Night of Knowledge — for the first time in summer — all interested parties had the opportunity to get involved in a nightly knowledge marathon, expertly accompanied by hundreds of scientists from the research institutions of the Göttingen Campus.
