Get Learnt

Today we talked with Mike about the current state of science and academia before we delved into his research, and what it means to be a "basic" scientist. Mike tells us about different cognitive responses to different stimulus(in particular seeing how people react to pain). We make sure to stop and explain what certain things are, such as top-down vs bottom-up responses; so that everyone can enjoy the podcast. Mike is a graduate student at McMaster University, and a super passionate scientist. We are looking forward to having him back on in the future, and seeing his career in science continue to blossom. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/get-learnt/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/get-learnt/support
