Podcast appearances and mentions of catherine dulac

In this episode, I converse with Zuri Sullivan, an HHMI Hanna H. Gray Postdoctoral Fellow in Prof. Catherine Dulac's lab at Harvard University. Zuri earned an AB in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Harvard and then pursued her interests in global health and host-microbe interactions as a Fulbright Scholar at the KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for Tuberculosis and HIV in Durban, South Africa. Wanting to delve deeper into the biology of host defense, Zuri earned a PhD in Immunobiology as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Yale University under the auspice of Prof. Ruslan Medzhitov. Zuri is fascinated by interactions between the immune and nervous systems, passionate about sharing science with the public, and dedicated to increasing the representation of women and people of color in STEM. We indulge in a fantastic conversation on her stellar journey in science; brilliant research at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience; battling the ubiquitous imposter syndrome; wonderful mentors who've guided and inspired her; rooting out inequities in science and society; her passionate outreach and communication to inspire future generations to pursue science; her eclectic reading list; and many more things!!

In this episode of Mommy Brain Revisited I talk with Dr Catherine Dulac, Higgins Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University and Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in the USA. We talk about her research on neurons expressing galanin in the MPOA and their essential role in parenting behaviors in females and males. So interesting! We also talk about the potential role of these neurons in maternal mental illness and whether or not we should be using the word 'instinct' when we talk about parental behaviour. For more information about Dr. Dulac's research click here. Here is a direct link to her publications. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mommybrainrevisited/support

durée : 00:02:24 - Le billet sciences - La chercheuse française Catherine Dulac vient de recevoir le prix Breakthrough pour ses travaux sur la parentalité. Des recherches qui démontrent que mâles ou femelles peuvent être tous deux de bons (ou de mauvais) parents.

From mice to primates to humans, Harvard University's Catherine Dulac provides a fascinating account of research that reveals the specific factors in the brain that govern parenting behavior that are shared by all mammals. Series: "Women in Science" [Science] [Show ID: 31761]
