In today's episode, we are joined by Dr Mateusz Kostecki to discuss the importance of ideas as a theoretical and conceptual basis for generating and motivating neuroscience research. Mateusz is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Heidelberg studying patterns of behaviour in placozoa, blob-like marine invertebrates. Prior to this, Mateusz completed a PhD on the social transmission of behaviour in rodents at the Laboratory of Molecular Basis of Behavior at the Nencki Institute in Warsaw, Poland. During his PhD, he also founded Nencki Open Lab, a neuroscience grassroots initiative that organises workshops, symposia, talks, and other events, with the goal of offering a creative environment in which researchers can discuss their ideas with people from different scientific subfields and learn tools that allow them to develop their experimental setups and analyse their data. In the episode, we talk about Mateusz's research journey, the philosophy behind Nencki Open Lab, how to deal with variability and juggling both theory and experimental approaches as a (neuro)scientist, and how to stay motivated in science.
