Stories of WiN

@storiesofwin.bsky.social

A project highlighting the stories and careers of women in neuroscience 👩🏾‍🔬👩‍🔬👩🏿‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬 Podcast here http://linktr.ee/storiesofwin

It was such a joy to write about @binxuwang.bsky.social for @storiesofwin.bsky.social ! Really loved her story of her journey into neuroscience from physics, and looking forward to following her work as she entires an exciting new chapter of her career!!

Our next profile is here! Dr. Binxu Wang (@binxuwang.bsky.social) studies how representations are generated in the brain and in AI models. Follow the link below to learn more! #StoriesOfWiN #WomenInNeuroscience www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

We're excited to share our latest profile! Dr. Suzanne Haber studies the circuits underlying reward-based learning & decision making, and how those circuits can be therapeutically targeted to treat disease. Follow the link below to learn more! #WomenInNeuro www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

Info. processing, memory, adaptive decisions.. none of it fully captures what makes us intelligent *beings* with subjective experience. @meganakpeters.bsky.social thinks hard about that gap and how to formalize that in theory & expmt. And she somehow found time to co-build @neuromatch.bsky.social 🤩

I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Carol over the last few years through the Simons SoF, so it was a particular joy to interview and write about her for Stories of WiN! I deeply admire her scientific contributions as well as her mentorship and leadership - we talked about all that and more!

Inspired by mentoring students who aspire MD-PhDs, I decide to interview @brianmsweis.bsky.social who is very passionate and knowledgeable about physician scientist education. If you are a trainee considering this path, or mentoring a trainee who is considering this path, please listen!!

Thinking about pursuing an MD-PhD? In this special episode, we sit down with Dr. Brian Sweiss (@brianmsweis.bsky.social) to break down what you actually need to know about physician scientist training! 🎧 Full interview below! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202... #PhysicianScientist #MDPhD

Thank you @drnancypadilla.bsky.social for hosting me! I hope this can be a helpful resource for students considering if the MD/PhD path is right for them!

I had a great time talking to Meenakshi about my trajectory through neuroscience! Tune in for electric fish, imaging the hypothalamus, and trying to find a path in theory that stays relevant to the brain. Also, my early phd experiences of trying to do science when real life rears its head.

We apologize for the delay but our next profile is here! Dr. Ann Kennedy (@antihebbiann.bsky.social) combines theory & biological data to study how internal states shape social behavior by reconfiguring neural circuit dynamics. Follow the link to learn more! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

I’m so honoured to be featured in Stories of WIN this month - sharing my career journey and how storytelling changed everything for me! 🧪🎙️

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! Thank you for helping us appreciate women in neuro & their stories! We believe in the power of storytelling, & our latest profile highlights Dr. Paula Croxson (@paulacroxson.bsky.social) who made science communication her career. Enjoy! www.storiesofwin.org/profiles/202...

Had a blast talking to @doctheagrif.bsky.social and writing her profile! We talked about her spark for neuroscience, her awesome research on sensory physiology and proprioception, her additional work as a prolific children’s book author, highs and lows of her journey, and more!
