Now I got further understanding about the neuroscience and its branches, and my interest in that field was also leavened. I really look forward to taking an onsite visit to CIBR in the future.”

“Online courses and journal club are the most attractive parts for me during the winter school,” a student said. “It’s a great start for students who aspire to neuroscience.”

“As a psychology major who plan to apply for a doctor’s degree, I totally agree that brain science knowledge is essential for our psychological research in a further step. And the Winter School shows me more about this new and fascinating field that I should work for.”

“I’ve participated in the online presentation of CIBR last year and started to know about its PIs since then. And what impressed me most this time was the panel discussion with other students. It’s quite helpful to learn from others’ experience in professional learning and research. I should say that I really enjoy the environment of CIBR and look forward to joining it in the future.”
