Dr Nancy Padilla-Coreano: How Do We Navigate Ourselves within Social Spaces?

Our guest on today's episode is Dr Nancy Padilla-Coreano. Dr Padilla-Coreano is a Professor at the University of Florida. There she runs her own lab and mainly investigates the neural mechanisms that drive social behaviours and dominance in animal models. She was selected as one of the L’Oreal For Women in Science 2020 Fellows and received the inaugural Henry Grass MD Rising Stars in Neuroscience Award back in 2021. She is joining us today to help us break down how our brains allow us to navigate social spaces.
