Exploring the Mysteries of the Brain 🔍 Our fellows never miss the opportunity to visit Skoltech, and this time was no exception. The young specialists in medicine delved into the Skoltech Center for Neurobiology and Brain Rehabilitation's exciting work.

Founded in 2018, Skoltech Neuro is engaged in scientific research and innovative developments for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of nervous and cognitive disorders. It strives to be a leader in the field of neurobiology in Russia, driving forward new discoveries and breakthroughs that will transform the understanding and treatment of neurological and cognitive disorders.

As part of their fascinating journey, our fellows attended the Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interfaces and the Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience. Here, they uncovered some techniques that are used to study the brain and heal neurological and mental diseases: 🧠 transcranial magnetic stimulation that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells and influence the brain's natural electrical activity; 🧠 metabolite extraction from plasma that helps to better understand metabolic changes linked to brain disorders; 🧠 molecular methods for studying biological fluids and tissues. They also learned how fundamental research paves the way for developing clinical methods used to assess and rehabilitate patients after neurological сonditions. The human brain holds countless secrets, and with every new discovery, we move closer to understanding its vast potential 🧠 #interussia #medicine #фпг

A New 'Seagull' Spreads Its Wings Across Cultures 🎭 At the InteRussia program's grand finale, our fellows proved that Chekhov's "The Seagull" can soar in any language. This wasn't your typical stage production — it was a whirlwind tour, with performers bringing their cultural flair to one of Russia's most beloved plays.

"The Seagull" is a masterpiece that delves into the complex lives of artists and those who love them. At its heart are Konstantin, a young playwright seeking to revolutionize theater, and Nina, an aspiring actress. Their stories intertwine with those of Trigorin, a famous writer, and Arkadina, an accomplished actress.

Our international ensemble brought these characters to life in ways both familiar and surprising. The performance unfolded in three captivating acts: ➖ key scenes from the original play; ➖ creative interpretations of moments Chekhov left to the imagination; ➖ a series of unique takes on Konstantin's experimental play-within-the-play. As the final applause faded, one thing was clear: Chekhov's timeless exploration of human nature and artistic pursuit continues to resonate across borders, inspiring a new generation of global artists to spread their creative wings. #interussia #theatre #фпг

What’s Happening with Our Wireless Technology Fellows? ⏳ The Moscow metro, one of the busiest in the world, traditionally arouses special interest among our fellows. However, this time they managed to penetrate deeper and get acquainted with its invisible side. Our engineers learned about wireless communication technologies in the Moscow public transport at a lecture organized by Transtelecom. 

TTK is one of the top-5 Russian telecommunications companies. It operates one of the largest fiber networks in Russia, which is more than 83 000 km long. TTK implements large-scale telecommunication projects and introduces a full range of telecommunication services for other state companies and end-users.

During the meeting, the participants discussed 💡technical arrangement of Wi-Fi and mobile Internet distribution systems in Moscow transport; 💡communication on short-distance and long-distance trains, the latter of which have a satellite communications access system; 💡software and multimedia platform implemented on Russian Railways trains; 💡the complexities of the technical arrangement of Moscow transport and prospects for further development. But that is not all: each fellow is also working on individual projects tailored to his or her development path. Guided by mentors from the Skoltech Project Center for Next Generation Wireless and Internet of Things, they are tackling real-world challenges and contributing to the future of the industry. Already this week we will lift the veil of secrecy and show innovative solutions developed by our engineers. #interussia #engineering #фпг
