On this I episode I talk to a neuroscientist about a special type of cell in the nervous system called glia. We specifically talk about glia in the peripheral nervous system: what we know about them, what we don't know and the work our guest is doing to learn more. We also talk at length about conferences (some pro tips from a SFN and ABRCMS attendee), grant funding (from a NSF GRFP awardee) and about diversity in STEM.
