Few neuroscientists conduct research that requires them to go to sunny beaches. In an episode that was originally recorded in June 2021, Carla and Ethan talk with Dr. Alice Chou about her research at the unique and historical intersection of neuroscience and marine biology. Now a postdoc in Dr. Eve Marder's group at Brandeis University, at the time we interviewed Alice she was wrapping up her thesis in the Cronin lab at UMBC.
