S5E3: Collaborating with Partners in Research

NINDS's Building Up the Nerve

In the fifth Season of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke’s Building Up the Nerve podcast, we help you strengthen your science communication skills with tools and advice to use throughout your career. We know that navigating your career can be daunting, but we're here to help—it's our job!

In the third episode of the season, we talk about Collaborating with Partners in Research, focusing on how to best learn from and include the perspectives of non-scientists and persons with lived experience in research and science.

Featuring Alice S. Chen-Plotkin, MD, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, Director of the MIND Initiative, and Neurologist at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania; Sonia Vallabh, PhD, Senior Group Leader at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Olajide Williams, MD, Vice Dean of Community Health & Professor at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons.
