*What do you love doing when you're not in the lab or the office?*
I love watching TV series, dancing and reading books.
*What do you most like about Scisnack?*
I enjoy most the discussions between the diverse people in the group.
*What makes you passionate about your field?*
The opportunity to learn how the brain works. I was always intrigued by it!
We're back with another #snackerspotlight! This week we have #biosnack with Despoina Binou!
PhD candidate in the field of #Neurology at @UKJ_Jena, where she is using molecular techniques to study #brainplasticity.
Time for another #SnackHighlight! Ever watch a movie and wonder if it could happen in real life? Join the #Climatesnack team as they debunk your favourite disaster movies ๐

*If you were to read one book to understand the world, which one would it be?*
'Industry and Empire: The birth of the Industrial Revolution' by Eric J. Hobsbawm. This book is explaining marvellously much of why the world is the way it is today.
*When you're not in the lab, at your desk or on fieldwork, what do you love doing?*
Yoga and hikes and big books ๐
*You have a time-machine! What time/place do you travel to and why?*
Well, it must be the 12th century BC in the Peloponnese and the LBA collapse. Though I would also like to sit around a hunter-gatherer campfire and listen to some of the first stories ever told.
