This week on NeuroTalk, we bring you a special report about a scientific sleepover hosted by the California Academy of Science called Penguins & Pajamas! Stanford postdocs from a variety of disciplines presented on their research, and we bring stories from the event, and speak with Mary Cavanagh and Antoine de Morree from the Stanford postdoc association. Below, you'll also find full interviews with many of the postdocs at the event.

Each week the Stanford Neurosciences Institute (SNI) invites a prominent scientist to come to campus and share their most recent work with the Stanford community. Each week, as part of the Neuwrite West podcast NeuroTalk, we engage the SNI speaker in an informal interview/conversation, with the aim of gaining a better insight into the speaker’s personality, and providing a platform for the kinds of stories which are of interest to us but are often left out of more formal papers or presentations. This week, we talk to Diana Bautista about the difference between itch and pain, the curious organ of the star-nosed mole, and more! Dr. Bautista is an assistant professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of California at Berkeley.

Welcome to the new year of school, and a new year of NeuroTalk! In the first episode of our second season, our guest is Yun Zhang, an associate professor of biology at Harvard University. We speak with professor Zhang about growing up in science, and studying learning and behavior in C.elegans!
Note to listeners: we had some connectivity issues while conducting the interview, so the audio quality is not as good in some places.
