Nadine Attal
EAN Sceintific Committee Member
The Scientific Committee is fully committed to a great mission: To increase and share the best clinical knowledge and the cutting-edge information from translational research in all neurological fields. Main actions are i) to facilitate exchanges and synergies with the Scientific Panels ii) to support the Guideline Production Group (update and diffusion of expertise and best clinical practice), iii) to interact positively with other scientific societies with reciprocal exchanges and liaise with the European Affairs sub-Committee to increase the awareness of Neurology in Europe.
For the current term, our main objective is to foster joined actions at every level.
We need you, with your energy, creativity, expertise and diversity, and we thank you in advance for your commitments, for the best present and bright future of our community.
Every month, you will find an original self-portrait of one Scientific Committee member, who will respond informally to the same 5 questions. Here we go!
What inspires you outside neurology?
I am extremely inspired by my travels around the world, as well as music, literature, theater, sociology and history.
What are the lessons learned from your mistakes?
I have mainly learnt to be less naïve with people I do not know and do not trust anyone blindly.
If you would be a comic character, who would you be?
Perhaps Gaston Lagaffe, because I have made mistakes in my life
If you had not entered your current profession, what would you have liked to do?
I would probably be a travel agent, because I like to do benchmark studies of hotels and restaurants around the world for my family and myself!
What is your idea of a perfect day?
To visit new places, I do not know, then enjoy a fantastic dinner in a beautiful place with sunset and beach.
