Ep58: The Life of a Neuroscientist - The Journey From Childhood Curiosity to Professor

The XYZ Experiment by Fiona, Darsh & Luke

Episode notes

In this episode we chat to Professor Scott Ayton - a Melbourne based neuroscientist working predominantly in the area of dementia. We hear his story of how and why he pursued a career in science, what is neuroscience, the ups and downs of being a scientist and his insights on the disease of dementia and things we can do to prevent or delay dementia.

Please join us as Scott explains the journey of developing treatments for dementia, shares his coping mechanisms when experiments don't work and gives his advice for future budding scientists.

This is an incredible story from Darsh's husband that had us on the edge of our seats. A real eye opener into the world of Professors, important medical research and a determination to make the world a better place for us all.
