This week on the On Your Mind Neuroscience Podcast: Kathryn has been so busy getting ready for conferences she hasn’t prepared for her committee meeting, and Liam’s been so busy not thinking about it he hasn’t gotten ready for conferences! Maybe he should spend less time interviewing politicians like Ted Hsu and Laurin Liu about science policy, and more time focusing on school. Still not focusing on school Liam’s been reading about the Ethics for a New Scientific Millennium on The Winnower, a really cool open scholarly publishing platform. Meanwhile Kathryn has been focused on increasing her score on Nature’s How Interdisciplinary Are You quiz, and becoming more T-shaped, whatever that means. In this week’s paper (OA), suggested by listener Rebeca, we examine the suitability of fibroblasts for modeling the motor neuron diseases ALS and PLS.
