Lydia from Berlin, Germany

@Lydia_Schulze this is so cool! I am a neuroscientist too! Where did you study? I did my master’s in HU, in Mind and Brain.

Hi @Lisa91, I studied at FU Berlin, Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology. What was your master’s thesis about and what are you doing these days?

@Lydia_Schulze I wrote it on cortical myelination in patients with early MS and whether we can predict how the disease will develop from the demyelination patterns and extent. These days I left academia and am writing code for Chatterbug :smiley:

@Lisa91 Cool! :slight_smile: I had a few internships where we did research with medical application but not so many. Mostly basic research. It’s quite interesting to me that a lot of biologists/(neuro)scientists don’t work in their field. How did you get into coding? I did my bachelor’s in bioinformatics but I wasn’t good at coding. :grimacing:

@Lydia_Schulze and I had a few internships where I did animal research :smiley: My absolute favorite was the one where I got to use optogenetics.

Yeah, the conditions of working in academia were not as great, as you certainly know… :grimacing: I taught myself how to code a bit during my studies to analyze some data and always did it as a hobby. So when I was thinking of changing careers that was a clear candidate. I attended a coding bootcamp to learn in a more systematic manner.

Hey @tlcoles, hope you’re enjoying the weekend! I’m reaching out because I saw that the lesson you booked with me tomorrow (Monday) is still “waiting for verification”. Just wanted to make sure that you confirm it, otherwise Chatterbug will automatically cancel the lesson for you.

I hope that we are still scheduled!

I reached out to customer service about this issue. My chatterbug lessons are paid for by my employer and reminder emails go to my work account, which I do not check on Sundays, which is when the Monday session reminders go out. They stated that they will lift the “waiting for verification” requirement for me.

Hope it worked this time!

The session was still there when I logged in but I went ahead and found the verification button too. Bis später!

No problem at all, @elisheba! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: It was really good to meet you!

I look forward to my first session with you.
