For the last cbbs gp Ringlecture in 2021, we invited our first external guest speaker and ALBA network member Prof. Dr. Tania Barkat from Brain & Sound Lab, Department of Biomedicine, University of Basel. She gave a talk on: “Plasticity in the juvenile auditory system” and gave very honest insights into her life as female scientist.

The scientific lecture was rounded off by a contribution from Dr. Keerthana Iyer, who – as an employee of the ALBA network – briefly introduced the ALBA network to the young scientists present.
