Parenthood, Purpose, and the Meaninglessness of "Optimizing" Everything- Optimize E6, Dr Sarah McKay
Dr Sarah McKay is an Oxford educated neuroscientist, as well as the author of The Women's Brain Book and Baby Brain. She is also an influential neuroscience commentator who has been featured on ABC, quoted on the Wall Street Journal, and appeared as a TedX speaker.
Today I had the chance to talk to her about her career and her transition out of the lab and into science communication. I also had the chance to learn her views on finding purpose in your work, the futility of the modern biohacker movement, and taking on the challenge of parenthood.
