Aliff Rush is a friend of mine and a fellow Neuroscience major at Santa Clara University. He is also an excellent musician. Today we speak on the human brain, music, creativity, and our opinions on the future of technology. 

In this episode, I welcome a good friend of mine Ben Hale. Ben is a legendary English teacher and Cross Country coach at my Alma Mater, Woodberry Forest School. I credit this man for kickstarting an intellectual journey that brings me happiness to this day. I am so happy to have him on this podcast. Today we dive deeeep into some of my favorite topics including:

• Our relationship with nature
• Religion and Dualism
• Social media and the human experience
• Addressing troubling times in American history

Today on Talking Brains, I sit down (over zoom) with Brittany Hofferber, an undergraduate premed student at the University of Virginia. Brittany is not only a kind and sweet person but she is also a badass. Outside of studying for the MCAT, Brittany co-founded Hol3health, a women's health brand focused on holistic health. Check out their Instagram @hol3health or their beautiful website at https://hol3health.com/.

In this episode of Talking Brains we sit down with Dr. Kirsten Read and talk about mushrooms, how children learn, and, of course, we talk about the coronavirus. 

Put your thinking caps on for this one because today we welcome Dr. Laura Cocas to the podcast. Dr. Cocas is a developmental neuroscientist, professor at Santa Clara University, and a fabulous human being. Today we explore the developing human brain, the rabies virus, and why glial cells matter to you.
