The neurons have fired! 🧠

Around 1 month ago, we went to London for a Neuroscience Exchange, following up on last year’s iteration 🇳🇱 🇬🇧
We explored the vibrant scientific community in London, especially in University College London (UCL). Activities included:

- Seminars on prosthetic vision, language processing and molecular biology of prions 🧬
- Visit to the Hello Brain exhibition of the Francis Crick Institute 🧠
- Tour visits to UCL’s Zoology and Pathology museums 🫀

We finished the week off by enjoying a pub night with fellow students from UCL’s Neuroscience Society! 🍻🍸

We’d like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who helped make this event possible- staff and students in London and of course our own UCU members.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and for joining us on this trip! 🧠

Until we form yet another synapse,
