Patricia Izbicki is a Neuroscientist studying the neuroscience of music at Iowa State University. Her research reveals the nature of various diseases and has applications in symptom management for developmental degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

We also talk about the graduate experience in neuroscience and psychology programs, graduate mental illness, graduate mental health, and transitioning from academia to practice.

This was an interesting and passionate conversation for both Patricia and myself. We had an interesting dialogue and I was happy to have captured it for the podcast. I'm absolutely certain that you will all enjoy listening to it!
