Neuroscience and Beyond
We are young researchers at the forefront of neuroscience in Göttingen, Germany, driven by a passion for discovery and communication. In our monthly conversations, we go beyond publications to discuss the real stories with leading experts: their revolutionary work, their personal paths, the struggles they've overcome, and the big questions driving the field forward.
Our mission is built on a simple, powerful idea: knowledge is the only resource that grows when shared. Through open dialogue, we aim to build a bridge between cutting-edge research and the curious minds eager to understand it.
Supported by the International Max Planck Research School for Neurosciences, the European Neuroscience Institute in Göttingen, the Cluster of Excellence "Multiscale Bioimaging" in Göttingen and SFB1286 Quantitative Synaptology in Göttingen.

Why are animal experiments inevitable in biomedical research? | Dr. Roman Stilling
Today's episode explores a critical topic: animal experiments in research. We're thrilled to have Dr. Roman Stilling with us. Dr. Stilling completed his Ph.D. at the European Neuroscience Institute in 2013 and went on to explore the fascinating role of gut bacteria in brain development as a postdoc. His passion for science communication led him to join the initiative “Tierversuche verstehen”, which means "Understanding animal experiments". Dr. Stilling is also a member of the FENS CARE committee (see below) and a host of the podcast called ‘Fabeln, Fell und Fakten’, where he discusses on a regular basis the topic of animal experimentation. In this episode, we'll discuss the vital role of animal experimentation in advancing biomedical research. Tune in to learn why animals are essential for breakthroughs in science and medicine.
If you want to meet him in person, he will be attending the upcoming @fens_org conference in Vienna Austria in June 2024.
