What does it look like to start graduate school in the middle of a pandemic? In this episode, meet incoming students at Columbia’s Doctoral Program in Neurobiology and Behavior and at the Zuckerman Institute. These young minds are navigating safety concerns and immigration policies while preparing to begin their careers in science: from Francisco Sacudura, who studies how the brain controls the body, to Rachel Frazer, who hopes to explore music and the brain. And they’re getting help, from older students opening up lines of communication and from the co-directors of the doctoral program, Darcy Kelley, PhD, and Wes Grueber, PhD, who are adapting to these difficult times.
