GSN Podcast - Episode 1
Prof. Redish is at the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota. His lab is interested in the mechanisms underlying decision-making and spatial navigation.
In this episode, Prof. Redish discusses his metamorphosis from a theoretical computer scientist into a full-fledged experimental neuroscientist. He explains why we should all read Homer, regardless of our thesis topic, and gives insight into the thinking process behind his innovative task designs. -
GSN Podcast - Episode 2
Dr. Julija Krupic has started investigating spatial navigation in the lab of the Nobel Prize Winner John O’Keefe at the University College London and now continues to pursue this interest in her own lab at the University of Cambridge.
In this episode, Dr. Krupic reveals how she managed to become an imaginative experimentalist while having her feet firmly planted in theory, who she will be hiring for her new lab and why she is venturing into Alzheimer’s research. -

Viktoria is a scientific coordinator at the International Max Planck Research School for Life Sciences, affiliated with the MPI of Biochemistry. Although, frankly, saying this does not even begin to do justice to the great many projects Viktoria manages. The 15x4 series and Soapbox Science Munich are just two of them.

Prof. Kathryn Jeffery is at the University College London and the Institute of Behavioral Neuroscience.
Alongside her intensely exciting work on the encoding of complex, three dimensional space in the hippocampal-entorhinal circuit, she manages to perform an astonishing amount of outreach activities, speaking to audiences at schools, museums and professional societies, as well as collaborate with artists and make glass pieces herself!
