The third joint Girls’ Day of the Berlin-Bochum Memory Alliance finally took place on April 25, 2024, not remotely via zoom, but on site at the Charité in Berlin.

After an extensive tour of the Charité campus, the more than 20 participants were able to learn what it means to be a researcher, how work in the neurosciences is organized (Survival skills for scientists – Livia de Hoz, SFB 1315 A09) and what insights can be gained there in seven lectures by female scientists from the Alliance.

In addition to neuroscientific basics (Types of neurons and how they interact in our brains – Irene Onorato, SFB 1315 A09), the main topic was of course memory research: How are sleep and memory connected (Memory and sleep – Xing Xao, SFB 1315 A09)?

How does our memory develop in infancy (How memory develops in the infant brain – Iryna Schommartz, SFB 1315 B04)?

What is the difference between semantic and episodic memory (Episodic and semantic memory – Emil Eva Rosina, FOR2812 P10)?

What pathways do our memories take in the brain (Memory pathways – Silvia Viana de Silva, SFB1315)?

And what is the connection between stress and memory (Stress and memory – Jaël Caviola, SFB 1280 A09)?
