It was an absolute honor to interview @lisa_giocomo back when in person seminars still existed. Besides talking about her amazing research, we talked about how staying positive and doing research that inspires you can help combat the constant rejection experienced in science.

Dr. Charisse Winston-Gray shared with us her passion for developing potential solutions for Alzheimer's, her unexpected path to a career in academic research and the importance of finding the right training environment for you.
