    Aksinya Derevyanko talks creative ties between dance and neuroscience

    Aksinya Derevyanko is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Nicola Allen's lab at Salk. For Derevyanko, recounting her journey from Russia to Spain to San Diego isn't just a practice in storytelling—it's an exercise in what she studies: memory. She watches the connections between our brain cells, called synapses, form, mature, and fail throughout our lifetimes and in diseases like Alzheimer's. Outside the lab? She tests her own synaptic strength by memorizing steps as a semiprofessional dancer.

    John Reynolds on how our brains can play tricks on us

    What is my place in the universe? This question began Professor John Reynolds' introspective and philosophical journey into the world of neuroscience, where he now studies nebulous human feats like perception and consciousness. Reynolds constructs models and tools that allow him to lean into these intangible abilities and, in turn, make scientific sense of how our brains process the world around us.   See the transcript for further reading as you listen.

    Joseph Swift says we're more like plants than we think

    Joseph Swift is a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Joseph Ecker's lab at Salk, but has recently launched his own start-up called CropDiagnostix. Inspired by his parents, Swift has always embraced "crazy" choices—leading him to leave Australia to study plant genomics in New York City then San Diego. In this episode, you'll hear about everything from the microscopic similarities between plants and humans, to what it's like road-tripping with a car full of potatoes.

    Jeff Jones shares what we can learn from jellyfish about human aging

    Jeff Jones is a staff scientist in the lab of Professor Rusty Gage. Jones' journey to science started on a dirt road in Florida and with a slew of questions about cancer. His tinkering hands and inquisitive mind led him to study life's basic building blocks to uncover how, why, and when our cells age—and whether we can prevent age-related dysfunction.
