A place for women scientists to talk to other women scientists about their work.
In this episode, Munawwar Abdulla interviews Dr Carol Gubert, an early career researcher at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. We talk about the gut microbiota and how it plays into neurodegenerative as well as psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and Huntington’s disease, how that research looks like with mouse models, and potential avenues this could take in the future. We also talk about what it’s like relocating to a different country to pursue science, how she overcame various obstacles as a researcher, and advice for other scientists who want to pursue careers in the field.
