In this episode, Carolina and Clara are joined by two postdoctoral fellows to discuss their research journeys, from undergraduate to postdoctoral experiences. They discuss the challenges they have faced, and share advice on how to stay motivated and inquisitive in academia in the face of technical or personal hurdles.

Ashlan Reid is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Tony Zador's lab at Cold Spring Harbor, which focuses on understanding the neural circuits in sensory systems, where she researches the development of cortical connections in the auditory cortex.

Mari Sosa is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Lisa Giacomo's lab at Stanford University, which focuses on untangling the neural circuitry that encodes spatial information, where she studies mechanisms of learning in the hippocampus.

Together, Ashlan and Mari share not only the lessons they've learnt through their extensive research experience, but also the variety of tools that they've used in their research, including two-photon calcium imaging and voltage sensitive dyes. This episode is the first of our two-part conversation, so stay tuned to listen to part two soon!

This episode is part of our series "Tools for Looking into the Brain" which is supported by Scientifica, a leading producer of electrophysiology and imaging equipment. In this series we explore research techniques used in neuroscience, including classical and state-of-the-art techniques. You can find our previous episodes from the series on our page- #64, #71, #75, and #81.
