Project Description: I am working as an intern with Lina Asperl and Frédéric Michon on establishing a social place aversion paradigm in rats. Learning from others’ experiences—especially negative ones—can provide significant benefits to an observer. We want to enable future research to use a rodent model by employing this paradigm, to further explore how learning about space by observing other rats (or humans) works.

Grant Information: I have received the Merit Scholarship of the University of Vienna during my Bachelor studies in Psychology, which is awarded for outstanding academic achievements.

Fun Fact About Me: I have hitchhiked with more than 70 people in 15 different countries.
