Last week, we had three amazing days full of discussions and wondering what curiosity actually means. Thank you to @modirshanechi.bsky.social, @mjgruber.bsky.social, and Lisa Beinborn for being there with us, it was a pleasure. Special thanks to Azzurra Ruggeri for her great talk!

What an event - or rather, what a year!
Our RTG celebrated its first year! We had the pleasure of listening to a talk by the president of @uni-goettingen.de about his research on curiosity. Later, we explored new disciplines. Maybe it’s not rocket science, but we’re still giving our best 😉
