Pint of View Chennai (Lecture 1): Déjà Oops

Welcome to Pint of View – Chennai’s first community where classroom-style lectures meet craft cocktails in pubs and bars.

For our first lecture, we’re bringing you Dr. Sumyuktha Anand, a neuroscientist and science communicator who proudly calls herself a neuroscience nerd. From decoding addiction and reward circuits to studying the neuroscience of brain tumors, Sumyuktha’s work spans both the molecular and the deeply human sides of brain science. Her favorite space, though, is outside the lab — where she makes complex neuroscience not just accessible, but irresistible.

Talk: Déjà Oops – Why Neuroscience Says Your Memory Can’t Be Trusted

We think of memory as a faithful archive, yet our brains are constantly rewriting the past. Why do we misremember? What does it reveal about how the brain works? And how can this “unreliability” actually help us adapt, heal, and grow?

Join us as we explore the science of neuroplasticity, false memories, and identity — all over a pint.

🍺 What to Expect

• A 60-minute lecture on memory, neuroplasticity, and why our brains misremember
• 15–20 minutes of interactive Q&A
• One craft cocktail or mocktail included with your ticket
• A lively mixer to share your “oops” moments and walk away seeing memory in a whole new light
