🧑🏻‍🔬 Who am I?
I am a neuroscientist with a PhD in neuroscience from the university of Zurich and currently hold a position as a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow in Munich. I am interested in anything related to the brain and in this channel I will explore different neuro topics and share some science advice that I found useful in my academic life so far.

Your input is much appreciated. I am currently in the early stages of posting on youtube and I recognise that I have much to improve. If you would like to suggest any topics you are interested in or tips for general improvement feel free to leave a comment under the video or contact me on my email [email protected]. I am already working on the next video, so see you next week! :)
