Dr. Nina Gray is a pediatric dentist, the mother of Nicolette and Blair Gray and most notably a huge YouTuber and influencer with almost 400,000 combined followers. We get real with her and hear how she was emotionally traumatized from leaving her country of Iran at such a young age -- and how that has always influenced her deep gratitude for the small things in life, especially the pride she feels for herself and where she comes from.
This week's guest, Annette "Nina" C. Gray, recently joined The Graduate Center as associate dean for the sciences and the new executive director of the Advanced Science Research Center at The Graduate Center, CUNY (CUNY ASRC). Gray earned her Ph.D. from Brown University, where she was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Predoctoral Fellow, and completed her postdoctoral work at Brandeis University where she researched synaptic plasticity — the way neurons in the brain communicate with each other in response to new information. She discusses the fifth anniversary of the CUNY ASRC and her evolution from a research scientist to a university administrator shaping the development of future scientists.

The second episode (or volume as we like to think of them) of Selected Tragedy. These shows are themed collections of highlights from three years of tragedy. We will be putting out weekly volumes of selected tragedy until our live shows start up again in on the 28th February 2015. Vol 2 highlights two moments where performers shared stories of their mental health issues with us and talks about how Stand Up Tragedy has become a space where these issues are regularly covered. Content Note: depression, anxiety, suicide, bullying. It also features a performance fro,m SUT host Dave Pickering that didn't happen at a Stand Up Tragedy so it should be new to podcast listeners.
