  • Summary

  • We are three friends who also happen to be Neuroscience Ph.D. students. If you are interested in neuroscience, grad school, or just listening to people talk about random science stuff, this podcast is for you. As people who are educated but also confused, we aim to bring on guests to elaborate on their experiences, providing a non-academic space to talk about science. We mean that this is a space to have organic conversations surrounding science, as if you’re chatting with a friend in a coffee shop, rather than a conference room. To maintain the integrity of the topics covered in this podcast, we will do a fact check at the end of each episode. Consider this podcast the intersection where good science meets good conversation.

    Hello ebc crew!

    Step into the comforting ambiance of our favorite coffee haunt ~The Java House~ where the aroma of freshly brewed beans mingles with the warmth of candid conversation. With noses sniffly but spirits high, we embark on an enriching journey through the complexities of grant writing, the delicate dance of work-life balance, and the intriguing concept of "Conquering Mount Stupid." From navigating the intricacies of grant applications to sharing hard-won insights on maintaining equilibrium in our hectic lives, we brew up a stimulating blend of practical advice and introspective musings. So, pull up a chair, wrap your hands around a steaming cup, and join us as we explore, learn, and grow together in this lively coffee shop rendezvous.

    As always, stay educated and seek confusion!
