Hannah's bio

Hello,
My name is Hannah Eggink and I am in the track Neuroscience. Previous I did a bachelor in Psychobiology at the UvA. I spend my fifh semester on exchange in Singapore to broaden my view. It was a very enriching experience but not so much on neuroscience level. That I tried to find during my last semester with a short internship and bachelor thesis at the Netherlands Institute of Neuroscience. Eventhough I really liked to work in the lab I didn't know if it would be the right path for me. Therefore I took a break year. I worked as a student assistent for the genetics practica for the first years, spent a month in Austria, and then decided I missed studying so went back to university. I didn't want to do anything with biology or neuroscience to see If I would miss it. Instead I did a course Islam, Big History and Science in Conflict. All very interesting and all but I missed the mysteries of the brain. So I chose this master.
I chose the Neuroscience track because I'm very interested in the molecular and cellular basis of our being. Isn't it fascinating that our thoughts are nothing more than chemical and electrical reactions? I am very keen to start an internship and do some real research myself.
See you all wednesday!
