BRΛINCAST is a weekly 30-minute conversation with inspiring people from all around the world sharing their love about the most fascinating thing that happened to your head…your brain! From the microscopic magic of a molecular scientist to the all-encompassing worldview of a philosopher, from up-and-coming PhD students to well-established professors, BRΛINCAST is open to everyone that’s curious! Nah, it’s not serious…the brain is too interesting to be serious! Just cast your brain aside (see what I did there?) and enjoy.
In between your clinics, your classes or your next grant application, grab your lunch, put on your headphones and just click and join!
