GSN podcast - Episode 9

Prof. Matthew Nolan leads a systems neuroscience laboratory at the University of Edinburgh. His research focuses on the molecular and circuit mechanisms underlying memory and navigation in the hippocampal – entorhinal system. Prof. Nolan is a rare example of a scientist whose work appeals both to pure theoreticians and hard line experimentalists. In this episode, we discuss –> open science and the value of reviewer anonymity –> the concept of “cell type” and its (mis)use in the navigation field –> how to supervise long-term projects and guide them to completion
