The brainiacs at the Faculty of Life Sciences had a chance to show what they, and - in some cases - plenty of other things, were made of Friday 20 November. See a video from this year's '15 Minutes of Brain'

by Sebastian Zieler

Life Science's cafè, the 'Juniorforskercafé', hosted this year's 15 Minutes of Brain, Friday 20 November. The radiant minds of the faculty battled it out - brain to brain - for glory, and cash.

The University Post sneaked in with a little camera and a laptop, witnessing 15 BSc, MSc and Ph.D. students attempt to condense years of hard work into a brief ten minutes.

The University Post didn't understand the half of it.

But it is accurately depicted in the film below (click here for a bigger version):

The lucky winners of DKK 10,000 each, to be used for academic purposes, and the chance to boast about being the biggest, brightest brains of the faculty are:

BSc brains, Martin Hassl and Bjarke Dall Jørgensen

MSc brain, Morten Emi Møldrup

PhD brain, Camilla T. Damsgaard

Congratulations!

For Greek student, there is just the pizzeria

Evangelos, a Copenhagen graduate, wants to make a living in Denmark. Going back to crisis-ridden Greece is senseless. But the ‘networking’ here is also proving illusory

Students stay if they have a job offer, love

Choosing to stay in Denmark is choosing a new identity, home, status and life stage. So what on earth is going on in international students’ heads? And how does the economic recession affect it?
