Dr. @DattaScientist's work beautifully brings together cancer biology, physics, engineering, and space! And her story really highlights how meeting the right mentor at the right moment can completely change the trajectory of your career.
How do tumors grow in space? @DattaScientist shared her work on how gravity & other forces affect growth, progression, treatment resistance, & immune response to #cancer. We covered successes, her path, how she almost left research, & what made her stay.

I'm the guest on the new episode of @PBtScience.
We get into why "aging" might not be one clear biological process, plus aikido and my old advisor's champagne tradition.
Thanks to @PhDMarie for such a wonderful conversation.

This was a fun conversation with a wonderful scientist doing cool research at the intersection of quantum mechanics, #biophysics, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience! We chatted about light-emitting cells in the brain, lab Olympics, travel mishaps, advice, and more!
Don't be afraid to be different. Being unconventional is a strength for @msahsorin, including in her research on the physical signals that our bodies use to control plasticity, regeneration & health. She shares key experiences that shaped who she is today.

This interview is one of those rare ones when I don’t suffer listening to myself… it is light and aimed at ‘budding’ scientists. Thank you, Marie, for inviting me to your podcast.
New #podcast episode! @jonykipnis talks about his work in #neuroimmunology, interests outside of #science, career path, failures, successes, & exciting research using immunotherapy to reduce damage in central nervous system injury.
