Dr. Asma Bashir

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2020/09/30

Asma is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the UK Dementia Research Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland studying interactions between astrocytes and blood vessels in disease. In her interview with Catie, Asma shares her journey that has spanned multiple disciplines and three countries, including initially wanting to study psychology in college at Boston University and moving to Vancouver for her graduate research developing an improved mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). While her graduate work had

Dr. Alison Barth

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2020/09/16

Alison is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences and Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University. Long before she established her lab seeking to understand mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity, though, she dabbled in a variety of experimental questions--anything that piqued her curiosity. Even at age 7 with a keen interest in ESP, she was designing experiments to test her “mind-reading” ability on her friends. As an undergraduate, she was drawn to

Dr. Anita Devineni

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2020/09/03

Anita is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University’s Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute whose research looks at the interaction between taste and smell in the fruit fly. In particular, she discovered that hungry fruit flies are attracted to acetic acid but averse to this same stimulus when they’re well-fed, suggesting that hunger can change the valence of a taste stimulus. Anita describes the path her research has taken throughout grad school and as a postdoc--both the ups and downs--and how

Dr. Lisa Giocomo

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2020/08/19

Lisa is an Associate Professor at Stanford University who studies biophysical and network properties of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex. Although she hesitates to describe herself as a “card-carrying computational neuroscientist ”, Lisa has quite a bit of computational experience in her past. In her interview with Dakota, she reveals why grid cells are so incredibly interesting, and how this interest and her thirst for understanding led her all the way to Norway to study them experimentally and

Dr. Stacey Dutton

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2020/08/12

Stacey is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at Agnes Scott College whose research focuses on voltage-gated ion channels. In her interview with Brielle, Stacey describes the incident that suddenly and dramatically launched her from the world of immunology to neuroscience, and more recently how her passion and curiosity again prompted her research focus to shift in a unique direction. She also candidly explains the tremendous obstacles she encountered along her journey, especially as

Dr. Sana Suri

Stories of Women in Neuroscience ·

2020/08/05

Sana is an Alzheimer ’s Society Research Fellow at the University of Oxford who uses multimodal neuroimaging techniques to study risk and resilience for cognitive decline in aging. In Cristiana’s interview with Sana, they discuss the many forms in which Sana’s passion for neuroscience has materialized: her postdoctoral research involving risk factors for developing dementia, how she almost left research to focus on growing her neuroscience blog, and her role as a science communicator informing
