Postdoc Appreciation Week Seminar - University Bochum

Talk Title: From Fish Brains to Human Brains Talk Description - For more than 10 years, I have been a comparative neuroanatomist, researching fish brains, with a particular focus on the goby family and their telencephalon. My academic career was interrupted by a two-and-a-half-year stint in school education, which led me here to the Department of Neuroanatomy and Molecular Brain Research, where I now teach about the human brain whilst continuing my research into fish brains. Dr. Melissa Sgodzai - Neuroimmunology Research Center Talk Title: The early postdoc: the journey so far Talk Description - A reflection on my experience as an early-career postdoc researcher aiming for habilitation, I will share a few perspectives and practical insights that may be useful to those at a similar stage or preparing to enter it. #NPAW2026 #CelebratePostdocs @proteintech
