20 years Faculty of Science: the past, present and future of Psychobiology

Fotografie: Liesbeth Dingemans - The A wing of Science Park 904 has a remarkable sight: the skeleton of a young African elephant. 'Ah, Bob the elephant', says neurobiologist Taco Werkman fondly. 'He used to stand at the entrance to the biology department. Fortunately he has received a new place of honour after the move to the new building.' Laughing, Esrion Robles admits: 'I had never noticed him, to be honest!' Tekst: Edda Heinsman. Fotografie: Liesbeth Dingemans While the elephant skeleton is fun for the picture, it has little to do with the research of neurobiologist Werkman and psychobiology student Robles. So let's put on the white coats and make the rounds through the labs. That is where the magic happens: where researchers carefully and diligently conduct brain research.
