Johanna Popp's thesis defense; farewell and welcome for new employees

Congratulations to Johanna Popp on successfully defending her dissertation! 
Her work, titled “Individual Differences from a Network Neuroscience Perspective,” explored how variations between individuals can be understood through the structure and dynamics of brain networks—shedding light on how our brains shape who we are.An outstanding achievement – we are very proud! 

At the same time, we say goodbye to our valued colleagues Johanna Popp and Valentina Glück, and sincerely thank them for their contributions and the time we shared. We wish them all the best and continued success in their future endeavors.

We are also delighted to welcome new team members: Maxi Stiller, Alexander Schröder, Charlotte Erlinghagen, Lea Hildebrandt, and Luisa Straubmeier – welcome to the team!
