Life of a Neuroscience Girl

Hello! Welcome to the Neuroplasticity podcast, where I discuss how neuroscience research changed my life and brought me to Quebec of all places (cue that clip of Frank Ghallager saying "how did I end up in Canada, I hate Canada"). On a side note, I can't stop watching Shameless; it is an issue. Today's episode focuses on my academic journey and how I ended up conducting research at McGill University in Montreal, from my hometown of Calgary, Alberta. I also briefly discuss some of my work, including a study I previously published that focuses on the intersection of AI and neuroscience (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39569353/), as well as some of the foundations of my current research. Please sit back, grab a tea or coffee, and listen as I share how I arrived here and set my intentions for the rest of this podcast series.
