On September 1, Arsene Kanyamibwa and Hendrik Hartmann relocated from the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig to the University of Helsinki, doubling the group size there. Besides dealing with Finnish bureaucracy and enjoying the full meteorological spectrum from a sunny September to a rainy and cold October, both picked up their scientific work in the Department of Psychology and Logopedics. While Arsene is in the process of setting up three new studies, investigating modern food effects on cognition, microbiota and behavior, Hendrik is putting first results of our study on the association of western diet with dopaminergic cognition and its neural correlates on paper. Furthermore, the two will support Annette and Daniel with supervision of bachelor and master students, and help developing the Behavioral and Brain Sciences unit.
