Learn more about the faces behind the research. What are the struggles of a young woman in science? What happens when you leave academia? What are the hurdles of families who want to pursue careers in science? Behind every committed researcher lies a long and difficult path to Higher Education, filled with countless obstacles. With this new podcast Franziska wants to give doctoral students, postdocs, as well as scientists who left academia, a platform to tell us their story. Most importantly, we will find out how her guests enjoy their coffee along the way.

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!

Sponsors for this month's episodes:

- 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).

- NeuroCure is a Cluster of Excellence in neurosciences funded since 2007 by the German federal & state governments (Excellence Initiative).

The focus of the Cluster is on investigating neurological and psychiatric disorders. By promoting close cooperation between basic science and clinical research, the Cluster aims to more rapidly transfer findings from basic research to clinical application.
