This interactive session brings together neuroscientists across career stages to explore how success in science is shaped, experienced, and redefined beyond formal milestones. Featuring personal testimonials from scientists profiled in EJN’s special issue Profiles of Women in Science, the session will open conversations around ambition, leadership, visibility, inclusion, and the many ways careers in neuroscience can evolve. Facilitated roundtable discussions will invite participants to engage directly with speakers and contributors in an open and reflective exchange. Open to all FENS Forum attendees.
