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.

Rethinking the Research Culture | Challenges in Academia with Dr. Haage #6
Dr. Verena Haage joins us for a deep and honest conversation about the systemic problems in academia, beyond just publishing or funding.
We unpack the urgent need to rethink research culture, covering issues like:
-Burnout, mental health, and unrealistic career expectations
-The shortage of stable positions like staff scientists
-Why retreats often miss opportunities for genuine connection
Dr. Haage shares actionable ideas, such as creating peer spaces and a trust-based lab culture to rethink what mentorship and leadership should look like in modern science.
