Brains & Bourbon Ep. 1: Attention and an Old Fashioned

Hello, we are Neuwrite West, a group on campus dedicated to improving science communication. This summer we are launching a new podcast centered around the Stanford neuroscience community called "Brains and Bourbon," a show about cocktails and neuroscience. Each week, we invite a neuroscientist to discuss the process and motivation behind their science, and to share their favorite cocktail with us. Our first guest is Nick Steinmetz, a 6th year graduate student in Kwabena Boahen and Tirin Moore’s labs here at Stanford, who talks to us about attention and monkeys, and shows us how to make an Old Fashioned cocktail.
