On Saturday, January 30th the 5th edition of the Dutch Brain Olympiad took place online. Students followed several lectures and competed with each in quizzes about the brain (among others; brain anatomy and brain diseases). Eventually, Gina won the exciting final and represented The Netherlands  in the International Brain Bee. Besides the quizzes, the students also followed a live online live dissection of a calf brain by Stichting Brein in Beeld and followed an interactive keynote lecture from Professor Frans Cornelissen about visual illusions. There was also a Brain Expo, where students could interact with researchers about their presented posters.
