Alie and Micah Caldwell produce the YouTube channel, Neuro Transmissions. Their videos present the basics of neuroscience and psychology in an accessible, engaging way. Alie is a neuroscientist and senior science writer at the University of Chicago Medicine. Micah is a licensed professional clinical counselor. In our conversation, we talk about the origins of Neuro Transmissions, their philosophy of science communication, and their new book.
Check your local bookstores for their upcoming book: Brains Explained: How They Work and Why They Work That Way.
Some science communication resources that came up in our conversation:
- ComSciCon: A free science communication workshop for graduate students
- Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science
- COMPASS Science Communication Trainings
- Alan Alda’s book, If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?
