Thank you also to our sponsors for supporting our event: QIAGEN, Axion, NexStim, and Labnet, as well as HiLIFE, the Faculty of Medicine, and of course the Brain & Mind Doctoral Programme🧠
We learnt so much & had engaging discussions about career paths after the PhD, & about the challenges & importance of SciComm. Thank you to our wonderful panelists! We also had two fruitful poster sessions w/ many great discussions & networking opportunities. Thank you to all! 🧠
And that’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who attended the Brain & Mind Symposium! We heard many stimulating talks by international researchers on the topics of brain imaging, neuroplasticity & neurodevelopment. Thank you to all of our fantastic speakers 👏🧠
Science communication panel take home messages:
Be you, but be a bit crazy!
Spy on other scientists who do scicomm.
Just start, you can practice with your mom, neighbor, friends.. Science communication is everywhere!
Keep the language simple.
And lastly, the take home messages from the panel discussions..
Career paths:
It's okay to explore different paths, your true passion might be somewhere unexpected.
You can have it all, as long as you find your own way
PhD is valued outside academia too.
And learn programming!
