What does the position of the tail of a mouse have to do with the somersault of a gymnast? In this edition on Science Profiles we spoke with principal investigator Megan Carey, from the Neural Circuits and Behavior Lab.

On Thursday, we spent the day with Verónica Corrales, a Colombian PhD student from the Behavior and Metabolism Laboratory, at the Champalimaud Research (CR). We photographed her daily routine, picked our favourites, and asked her to talk us through them.
