Hi all - another neuroscientist here making the switch.
I'm a post-doc trying to navigate my way through the world of academia. As is true for many ECR's , I'm playing a high-risk gamble with my future - trying to balance ambitious research with short-term contracts. Will it be worth it or should I have followed the side dream of opening a Beetroot themed deli and music venue (Beets and Beats)? I guess we'll find out together over the coming years...
Anyway, I research learning and memory, but am obsessed by all things orientation and navigation. How do we know where we are, how do we guide our actions to achieve a goal, and how are our memories ultimately used to guide our behaviour?
Mostly tooting neuroscience - with the occasional aside for gardening, cooking and music.
