Are you curious about how traumatic memories differ from everyday ones? Do you wonder why some memories feel fragmented, intrusive, or triggered by a smell? Don't miss this episode on Monday with Prof. Woud, Head of Clinical Psychology at the @unigoettingen.bsky.social! youtube.com/shorts/Ce-w2...

In our latest episode on the challenges in academia, we welcome Prof. Kwok as she dissects: - Academic pressure and the instability of research careers. - The “publish or perish” model and profit-driven journals. - The oversupply of PhDs versus the limited academic positions. youtu.be/yOe3BzJ6_d8

Prof. Kwok explains how the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the glial scar, formed post-injury, hinders nerve regeneration. However, removing these ECM components enhances axon regrowth. Don't miss our latest episode for fascinating updates on ECM research. youtu.be/gmY1cnMEVtE

Did you know the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for #neurodevelopment? Join us as Prof. Kwok explains how the ECM's special gel-like structure establishes and maintains crucial chemical gradients. These gradients direct key processes in #brain formation. youtu.be/hLAL-o7X6-8

In our 25th episode, we're highlighting a fascinating and often overlooked area of neuroscience: the extracellular matrix of the brain. We are delighted to host Dr. Jessica Kwok, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Leeds. youtu.be/PC15xeDaYYQ

Perineuronal nets are specialized extracellular matrix structures that ensheath specific neuronal populations. Tune in to our new episode on Monday to explore the critical roles of these extraneuronal structures. #PNN #ECM #Neuroscience #SciencePodcast #glycobiology youtube.com/shorts/O2bGx...

Why is our brain so soft? The central nervous system is much softer than other tissues, and one reason is its unique extracellular matrix (ECM). #PNN #ECM #Neuroscience #SciencePodcast #glycobiology‬ youtube.com/shorts/muGFv...

What are Perineuronal Nets (PNNs)? In our next episode, we talk with Prof. Jessica Kwok about PNNs—specialized extracellular matrix structures that wrap around neurons. Catch the full episode on Monday to explore how PNNs impact brain health and disease. youtube.com/shorts/pE-RA...

Professor Mani @nivimani.bsky.social shares her perspective, acknowledging both the privileges of scientific research and the real challenges we face. We discuss the slow peer-review process, the high cost of open access, and the systemic resistance to change. youtu.be/IG2mheXT_tg

🗣️Why is it so difficult for adults to lose their accents? Professor Mani @nivimani.bsky.social explains the fascinating science behind adult versus baby language learning. 🧲Learn about the "perceptual magnet effect" and why German umlauts are so challenging! youtu.be/ITwZIhUOI2s

Raising a child in a multilingual home? @nivimani.bsky.social explains the "one parent, one language" theory, the challenges of maintaining minority languages, and how to encourage multilingualism. Is there a language delay? Yes, but it's only about 2 months – totally worth it! youtu.be/3Qvbrh1oEek

How Do We Learn Language? Ever wonder how babies learn language? We've got answers! Join us for a fascinating chat with Prof. Nivedita Mani @nivimani.bsky.social from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, as we uncover the secrets of infant language acquisition. 🔗 youtu.be/M57a0VelgY8

Media can actually boost your child's language learning! The secret? Simply talk to them about what they watched. Include natural language variability, just like in everyday conversations. Don't miss the upcoming episode on Monday with Prof. Mani! youtube.com/shorts/bkGPE...

"Language is a social beast!" Professor Mani explains why hearing language is crucial for language learning. 🗣️ More words equal stronger language skills! Talking to children, providing varied input, and reading books directly impact their language development. youtube.com/shorts/djClk...

How does a baby's inherently egocentric world drive their language learning? In our next episode, we explore the fascinating world of infant language acquisition with Professor Nivedita Mani, Professor of Psychology of Language at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. youtube.com/shorts/i8YVV...

🔍 In this very important episode we discussed #Diversity, #Equity, & #Inclusion policies—their impact, unintended consequences, and the need for real structural reform in #education. youtu.be/FfrybHhT8aQ

Have you heard of 'Imaging for All'? This fantastic initiative offers scholarships for researchers from the Global South to train in top imaging labs across Europe and the U.S.! @alishaib.bsky.social shares his insights on the topic @globalbioimaging.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=plr1...

🧠Ali aims to use ONE Microscopy to develop an early diagnostic test for Parkinson's disease by detecting toxic alpha-synuclein oligomers in cerebrospinal fluid. 👨‍⚕️While current tests diagnose the disease too late, this approach aims for earlier detection using more accessible biological samples.

Ali co-developed ONE microscopy, a revolutionary, accessible super-resolution technique. ONE combines expansion microscopy with fluorescence fluctuation analysis, enabling visualization of protein structures at nanometer resolution using conventional light microscopes. youtu.be/b9kwhUyrJbI

đź§Ş What if any researcher could study protein shapes in detail, using conventional microscopes? Dr. Ali Shaib made this possible by developing the ONE microscopy technology. Watch the full interview on www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZry...! #microscopy #superresolution #innovation #science
