We are looking for early carrer researchers who want to share their fascination for Neuroethology by introducing their work.

42: The Answer to Almost Everything - Are We Too Curious? - Watch the full documentary | ARTE in English Curiosity is at the very root of humanity's development, but it is often vilified and mistrusted. Is curiosity a good thing? Or are we humans too curious for our own good?

We're excited to share that the research of our IMPRS alumna Petra Mocellin (@petramoce.bsky.social) is featured in an ARTE documentary on curiosity!
Congratulations, Petra! Watch the English version here:
