In this episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal welcomes Dr. Yvette Wong, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Northwestern University and 2024 Toffler Scholar, for a deep dive into the dynamic inner world of cells—and how her lab is uncovering new clues about neurodegenerative diseases by studying the microscopic interactions between organelles.Dr. Wong discusses how organelles like mitochondria and lysosomes don't just function in isolation—they actually “talk” to each other at contact points within cells. These cellular conversations may hold the key to unlocking better understanding and treatments for conditions like ALS, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease.Through vivid analogies (like buses exchanging cargo), Dr. Wong helps translate complex science into clear visuals, while also highlighting how advances in super-resolution live-cell microscopy and data analysis are transforming what's possible in neuroscience.

In this eye-opening episode of Research Renaissance, Dr. Rod Scott takes us on a journey through the emerging science of brain networks, complex adaptive systems, and why rethinking how we treat neurological conditions like epilepsy and autism might be the key to improving outcomes—especially in children.Dr. Scott explains why he views the brain not as a collection of isolated parts, but as a dynamic, self-organizing system. From his clinical experience to his cutting-edge lab work on neural firing patterns and cognitive behavior, he shares why focusing on repairing brain networks—rather than treating individual genes or symptoms—could reshape our entire approach to neurological care.Key highlights include:

In this inspiring episode, we speak with Bill Burke, founder of the Optimism Institute and host of the Bluesky podcast, about the powerful link between optimism and gratitude. Bill shares his perspectives on how life's toughest challenges ultimately shape us into better, more empathetic people, and how being grateful for these experiences opens us up to new relationships and greater possibilities in the future.We dive into the importance of optimism—not as a naive perspective, but as a grounded, realistic outlook that fuels resilience, deepens connections, and helps us embrace the good in life. Bill discusses his transition from being a high-powered media executive at Turner Broadcasting where he served as the first General Manager of Turner Classic Movies to relocating his family to Portland, Maine. Ironically, it was getting off the corporate merry go round that created the opportunity for Bill to serve as Ted Turner's ghost writer on his highly anticipated biography, Call Me Ted. Bill reflects on the importance of gratitude and how cultivating a mindset of optimism can transform not only your life but also the world around you. Tune in for a dose of inspiration on living with optimism, curiosity, and gratitude!Episode Links and ResourcesOptimism Institute Bluesky PodcastCall Me Ted How to be an Optimist in a Turbulent World, Dr. Sue VarmaThe Effects of Optimism on Health, Dr. Nicola WilliamsSupport this podcast by subscribing and reviewing!Music is considered “royalty-free” and discovered on Audio Blocks.Technical Podcast Support by: Jon Keur at Wayfare Recording Co.© 2024 Silver Linings Media LLC.
