The PhD Finish Line & Curing Alzheimer's Disease
Welcome back to Season 2, everybody!
I have the great pleasure to start this season off with an amazing scientist and science communicator: Kiara Freitag.
Kiara's a neuroscience Ph.D. researcher at the German Centre of Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Berlin exploring why people suffer from Alzheimer´s disease and how we might cure it. She is very passionate about brain cells and tries to understand how they change if we start suffering from dementia.
During episode 1, we discuss how to find the perfect supervisor (and lab to work in), what it's like to do a Ph.D., and how to eventually finish it.
What goes into handing in your work? How do you publish your results in a scientific journal? What do you do, if your experiments fail? All of these questions and more will be answered during this interview. If you're currently doing a Ph.D. yourself (or if you're thinking about it) this episode is for you.
Relax, get a cup of coffee and join Kiara and me for this very candid and funny reflection about the Ph.D. Finish Line!

- The Collaborative Research Center 1315 equal opportunity measures support work-life balance, promote women in science and identify resources available to the network as a whole.
How does long-term memory work? That is the key question at the heart of the new Collaborative Research Center SFB 1315.
In particular, the SFB 1315 will focus on how memories are consolidated over time. It is hoped this will lead to new treatment methods for disorders that remain virtually untreatable (such as, for instance, Alzheimer's disease).
