Khethani chats with Johanné Marais about human clinical trials, sleep research, and failing courses at university.
Khethani and Jo speak with Lizeka Tandwa about following your interests, bioethics research, moral responsibility and human "nature".
Khethani and Jo meet Dr. Thando W. Shabangu and dive into scientific culture, molecular biology, and research in controversial areas that relate to societal issues.
Dr. Thando Shabangu continues sharing his insights on rodent models of neurobiological underpinnings for sexual aggression, and asks us about the vision for WENA the Podcast.
Jo and Khethani speak with Dr. Sahba Besharati of the Wits Neuroscience Research Lab about the breadth of work and interest of Wits NeuRL, and finding relevant decolonial language and practice for African neuroscience contexts.
On this episode, we have a discussion with fellow Wits School of Physiology graduate Zuha Ajlan about her path to neuroscience! We also chat about a foundation that she started called "Shadow a Scientist" and many other exciting topics!
