🧠 Wednesday, July 30 – Biomedical Neurosciences

Today was a deep dive into the brain from space! 🌌

🚀We explored how microgravity affects brain function with Prof. Dr. Peter zu Eulenburg, followed by an exciting hands-on fMRI session with his team 🧲🧠.

🤖In the afternoon, Dr. Virginia Flanagin guided us through the future of medicine with her talk on AI and machine learning in biomedical research.

We wrapped up with a practical and insightful soft skills session on how to shine in poster and oral presentations, led by our PhD students 🎤📊

A big thank you to all our amazing speakers for inspiring and engaging us today! 🙏

See you tomorrow…
