This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Karel Svoboda about how studying the brain inspires invention, the development of two-photon microscopy, visualizing synaptic turnover, and more!

Dr. Svoboda is a group leader at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Janelia Farms.

This week on Neurotalk, we chat with Loren Looger about the first calcium indicators, designer proteins, and how the self-described "worst talk in the history of the world" landed him his own lab.

Dr. Looger is a group leader at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Janelia Farms.

This week on "Brains and Bourbon," we share a glass of whiskey with Tony Ricci as we discuss hearing, rebuilding his lab after hurricane Katrina, and more!

Dr. Ricci is a professor of otolaryngology and molecular and cellular physiology here at Stanford, as well as the director of the Stanford neurosciences PhD program.

"Brains and Bourbon" is a show about cocktails and neuroscience. Each week, we invite a neuroscientist to discuss the process and motivation behind their science, and to share their favorite cocktail with us.

You have a brain and you like to drink, so come sit down and have a drink with us.

This week on Neurotalk, we speak with Hey-Kyoung Lee about the first chemical LTD experiments, the role of phosphorylation in learning and memory, and how a happy accident increased our knowledge of mutimodal sensory plasticity!

Dr. Lee is an associate professor of neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins Mind/Brain Institute.

This week on Brains & Bourbon, we sit down with Mariko Bennett to discuss the magic and mystery of glia, the future of gene therapy, and why clamato juice is a thing.

Mariko is an MD/PhD student in Ben Barres's lab here at Stanford.
