A great interview of Eve, who is a remarkable person; a deep commitment to the pursuit of truth and scientific integrity, passion about mentorship of the next generation of scientists, and advice that's always direct, unabashed and insightful!

Here's something else about Eve. She's busy. But if I call her or walk into her office with any problem - personal or professional - she drops everything to talk. Her unwavering support has been invaluable. Not to mention that she also lets me borrow from her giant collection of multicolored shoes!

This interview with the neuroscience legend Dr Eve Marder is absolutely worth your time.

👏 Eve!

A very special 150th episode - I got to interview the one-and-only Eve Marder!
