Pint of View (Lecture 6) - Deja Oops: Why Neuroscience Says Your Memory Can’t Be Trusted

About the Experience

Welcome to Pint of View – Bangalore's first-ever community where classroom-styled lectures meet craft cocktails in pubs and bars. In our sixth lecture, we’re bringing you Dr. Sumyuktha Anand, a neuroscientist and science communicator who calls herself a neuroscience nerd. She has explored everything from addiction and reward circuits to the neuroscience of brain tumors, and while she earned her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology, what excites her most is stepping outside the lab to share just how fascinating our brains really are. Passionate about making science accessible, Sumyuktha brings the marvels of neuroscience to non-specialist communities and now, to you — over a pint. Her talk, Déjà Oops: Why Neuroscience Says Your Memory Can’t Be Trusted, dives into the quirks of memory and the science of neuroplasticity. We like to think of memory as a reliable archive, but the truth is it’s constantly being rewritten, distorted, and reinvented by our brains. Why does this happen? What does it say about how our brains work? And how does this “unreliability” help us more than it harms us? Come, find out, and bring your questions — from everyday forgetfulness to the bigger mysteries of how memory shapes identity. All of this, over Geist beer on tap at Jamming Goat 3.0, Indiranagar! 🍻 What to Expect: A 60-minute lecture on memory, neuroplasticity, and why our brains misremember 15-20 minutes of interactive Q&A One Geist beer on tap or a mocktail included with your ticket A lively mixer to share your insights, laugh over your “oops” moments, and walk away seeing your memory in a whole new way About the Lecturer Dr. Sumyuktha Anand is a neuroscientist and science communicator who has researched topics ranging from addiction and reward circuits to brain tumors. With a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology, she is passionate about making brain science fun and accessible beyond academic circles — through teaching, writing, and now, with Pint of View. About Pint of View Inspired by the successful Lectures on Tap community in the U.S., Pint of View brings this format to India for the first time.
