Lars Dittrich successfully graduated on the 29th of October in the IGSN and was awarded with a PhD of Neuroscience. Lars impressed the committee so much that they unanimously decided to grade his thesis and defence with a summa cum laude – a rare and very prestigious event. Lars analyzed how pigeons learn a complex categorization task in which the animals have to come up with a strategy to discriminate humans from non-humans on pictures. In addition he introduced novel ways to "read a pigeons mind" with behavioural and anatomical means. Subsequent to the party, Lars' students gave him a shisha as present. As shown below, the new device was directly put into widespread use.

CONGRATULATIONS LARS!!!
