On Thursday, the 13th of August 2015, Sarah defended her PhD thesis entitled „Neuronal and Behavioral Mechanisms of Extinction Learning and Renewal” in front of a tough IGSN examination committee. One of the examiners, Juan Rosas, had travelled all the way from Spain to Bochum for this task. As expected, Sarah did a brilliant job. Her talk was simply perfect, and she could respond in excellent and witty ways to each and every question. Despite trying in the hardest possible way, the examiners found no soft spot. It was all simply perfect. Therefore, the committee unanimously decided to award her the title Philosophiae doctoris (PhD) in Neuroscience.

Congratulations Sarah! You are outstanding!
