Was it good that Nanthia finished school so young?

How invasive recordings in humans have changed over the past 15 years

The future of invasive recordings in humans

Mentorship in academia

Learning as a PI

Book or paper more people should read

Something Nanthia wishes she'd learnt sooner

Advice for PhD students and postdocs

Nanthia Suthana is an Associate Professor at UCLA. In this conversation, we talk about her research using invasive brain recordings from humans, how the technologies have changed and what might happen in the future. We also talk about how she runs her lab, how to learn as a PI, and what Nanthia enjoys about mentoring students and postdocs. We had some minor audio issues, so Nanthia switched her recording setup twice during the conversation. Sound should still be good though.
