    Neural Network: Ione Fine

    In this episode of Neural Network we sit down with Dr. Ione Fine, a distinguished professor at the University of Washington and a trailblazer in the field of neuroscience. Dr. Fine’s groundbreaking work focuses on neuroplasticity, exploring how the brain adapts to early sensory loss and the potential of prosthetic vision to restore sight. Formerly a research scientist at Second Sight, she brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. Join us as Dr. Fine shares her inspiring career journey—from navigating challenges in research to becoming a leader in the field. We delve into her current work, including the collaborative initiatives of VisCog and the Neuroimaging Collective, and discuss the ethical considerations in sight recovery technologies. Dr. Fine also provides practical advice for students, researchers, and women in science, sharing key traits that define success in research and how to cultivate them. This is an episode filled with wisdom, inspiration, and a celebration of resilience in science—don’t miss it!
