Truly impossible to say enough good things about Carol!

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Carol over the last few years through the Simons SoF, so it was a particular joy to interview and write about her for Stories of WiN! I deeply admire her scientific contributions as well as her mentorship and leadership - we talked about all that and more!

Inspired by mentoring students who aspire MD-PhDs, I decide to interview @brianmsweis.bsky.social who is very passionate and knowledgeable about physician scientist education. If you are a trainee considering this path, or mentoring a trainee who is considering this path, please listen!!

Thank you @drnancypadilla.bsky.social for hosting me! I hope this can be a helpful resource for students considering if the MD/PhD path is right for them!

Thinking about pursuing an MD-PhD? In this special episode, we sit down with Dr. Brian Sweiss (@brianmsweis.bsky.social) to break down what you actually need to know about physician scientist training! 🎧 Full interview below! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #PhysicianScientist #MDPhD

I had a great time talking to Meenakshi about my trajectory through neuroscience! Tune in for electric fish, imaging the hypothalamus, and trying to find a path in theory that stays relevant to the brain. Also, my early phd experiences of trying to do science when real life rears its head.

Such a pleasure capturing Ann’s really inspiring story for @storiesofwin.bsky.social. Check it out!!

We apologize for the delay but our next profile is here! Dr. Ann Kennedy (@antihebbiann.bsky.social) combines theory & biological data to study how internal states shape social behavior by reconfiguring neural circuit dynamics. Follow the link to learn more! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

I’m so honoured to be featured in Stories of WIN this month - sharing my career journey and how storytelling changed everything for me! 🧪🎙️

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! Thank you for helping us appreciate women in neuro & their stories! We believe in the power of storytelling, & our latest profile highlights Dr. Paula Croxson (@paulacroxson.bsky.social) who made science communication her career. Enjoy! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

Had a blast talking to @doctheagrif.bsky.social and writing her profile! We talked about her spark for neuroscience, her awesome research on sensory physiology and proprioception, her additional work as a prolific children’s book author, highs and lows of her journey, and more!

Check out #StoriesOfWin interviewee, Aya Osman, in her interview with The Transmitter! Great article about an incredible scientist 🧠

Our latest profile is here! Dr. Theanne Griffith (@doctheagrif.bsky.social) studies molecular, cellular, and circuit mechanisms for proprioception. Follow the link below to listen to our full interview! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #WomenInNeurosciene #StoriesOfWiN

Our next episode is here! At our in-person event, Dr. Diana Bautista (@dianambautista.bsky.social) discussed her winding path—from art school and bartending to uncovering how our sensory & immune systems work—proving creativity belongs in science. Listen below! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

I truly enjoyed writing this profile. Eva's personal trajectory from the clinic to academia highlights the ongoing importance of《fundamental science》for tackling mental health and addiction. Science enables the shift from "labels" to "mechanisms" and leads to more tailored, powerful approaches.

Our next profile is here! Dr. Eva Pool studies the role of affect in learning and decision making. Follow the link below to listen and learn more 💜 www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #StoriesOfWiN #WomenInNeuroscience

🤓 So grateful to learn from powerhouses like Erin and @huda-akil.bsky.social during our Stories of WiN panel. We spoke about defining your legacy in science & beyond and a clear theme emerged: do science & lead according to your values. Listen here: www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

We're excited to share our next profile! Dr. Carla Shatz is a pioneering neuroscientist whose work reveals how early neural activity sculpts developing brain circuits & informs our understanding of neuroplasticity & neurodegenerative disease. Learn more below! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

There was so much amazing wisdom and inspiration shared at this event - listen for yourself!!

It was an honor, and great fun, to participate in this event !
