Delighted to host masters students studying entrepreneurialism from CentraleSupélec Université Paris-Saclay today at SWC. Thanks to Emmett Thompson, Peter Gordon, Jessica Broni-Tabi and Matthew Phillips for sharing their insights in neuroscience and opportunities for start-ups!

If you’re a student at UCL, you can watch your team take part in tonight’s Series Finale of #UniversityChallenge against Imperial College London by heading to the IOE Bar

A big crowd is gathering for a memorable night. Show begins at 20.30 BBC iPlayer / BBC Two - but get there early!

In our latest episode, we were joined by Professor Tiago Branco SWC to discuss different approaches to understanding the neural basis of behaviour, how rodents respond instinctively to imminent threat, neural computations across scales, and more! ⬇️
