Last week, 130 researchers of the #SFBTRR393 & invited guests gathered at Kulturrathaus Dresden for an inspiring retreat. 4 days of sharing recent results, discussing new directions, and strengthening collaborations across sites. More & more difficult to get everyone into one photo, but we managed!

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social
