🤩 A successful first day of our SNE Thematic Days, with symposia on iPSCs, neuroimmunoendocrinology and thyroid hormones, as well as short talks and posters from our ECRs. We ended the day with a welcome reception and the introduction of our new SNE Honorary Presidents. Looking forward to Day 2!

A great way to kick off the SNE Thematic Days with "La Mélodie des neurones", a show mixing music, humour and neuroscience to explore how the brain works! 🧠🎶
