In this episode, we speak with Olivia Ghosh-Swaby, a Neuroscience PhD Candidate who uses translational methods to study neuroplasticity at Western University in London, Ontario. We speak about how she fell in love with neuroscience, her research, her recently awarded Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, and her podcast, Brain Matter Chatter, a recently-founded forum 'to raise awareness about issues surrounding mental health in academia’. We also discuss some of the systemic inequities that impact the success of minoritised people in STEM and the enormous power disparities between early career researchers and senior decision makers in academia.
