Conversations with scientists: Episode 30
Hosted by Vivien Marx, with me as a guest co-host.
Official blurb: Annually, 20,000 - 25,000 researchers in neuroscience, both basic researchers and clinicians, come together at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience. It's big. Actually gigantic. Here's a sneak-peek of some of the aspects that will be talked about at the meeting. This is a chat with the Society for Neuroscience leadership. And there's a nerdy word-game, too. (Art J. Jackson, Music: Funky energetic Intro by WinnieTheMoog.

Conversations with scientists: Episode 38
Hosted by Vivien Marx, with me as a guest co-host.
Official blurb: Science and the arts have much to say to one another. This episode is a conversation between scientists and artists, between scientists who foster the arts through fellowships and residencies and artists active in science and people who live in both worlds: science and the arts. All this makes for interesting and sometimes challenging groups of identities. With: London-based artist Charlotte Jarvis, Designer, now medical student Mika Futz, Jean Mary Zarate, editor with Nature Neuroscience, musician and actor, Catherine Musselman and John Rinn, genetics researchers at University of Colorado, proteomics researcher Albert Heck.
