What do you mean by #freedom? As part of the German Year of Science on the subject of freedom, our researchers Chiara, Charline, Elmira and Leonardo have given it some thought. Max Planck Society

Kathleen Kaye Medriano, an intern from our first CaCTüS cohort in 2022, visited Tübingen to catch up and meet our current interns. She's now pursuing a PhD in Cognitive Science at UC Irvine. More about CaCTüS: projects.tuebingen.mpg.de

In 2024, Germany celebrates two key anniversaries: 75 years of the Basic Law and 35 years since the peaceful revolution. The BMBF ´Science Year 2024 – Freedom´ explores the value and meaning of freedom across its many dimensions throughout the year: wissenschaftsjahr.de/2024/english

How do zebrafish map their environment? A new Nature paper by RoLi Lab found first evidence for place cells in fish. These specialized neurons play a crucial role in forming mental maps of space, social networks, and abstract relationships. 👉kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/place-cells
