I believe that as a scientist, especially as a woman in a STEM-field, I feel a responsibility to share the beauty and excitement of science. I do this in different ways: of course I teach, but I also give presentations and I am involved in several other activities.
I feel honoured to have been awarded the Faculty of Science junior teacher award and the ‘Math Checks Out‘ award in 2020 and the Biosciences junior teacher award in 2019!
At the BrainHelpDesk, we try to answer any question about the brain!
Materials about computational neuroscience and AI for a broad audience!
Unfortunately enough, there are still not many women in science, especially not in my field, computational neuroscience. I find this a pity! So why is that, and what can we do about it? Here is just a random collection of stories and ideas that I like.
Almost no-one coming to computational neuroscience has a degree in computational neuroscience: most have degrees in biology, physics, mathematics or AI. Therefore, I often receive the question what good introductory material is. Here, I compiled a list of some introductory material I like.
