Mac's sporting background

Overview of Mac's review in Nature (w/ Emily Finn and Russell Poldrack)

The role of great editors in improving scientists and their work

Connecting different levels of description

Integration and specialisation

You can scan any animal with fMRI - but they're usually anaesthetised

The transfer from human fMRI to animal electrophysiology

N=1 studies and layer-fMRI in clinical neuroscience

Collaboration and building a multidisciplinary lab

The magic formula in science: annoyance, excitement, and a constructive mindset

Writing grants as a test to oneself, and the art of reframing

A book or paper more people should read

Something Mac wishes he'd learnt sooner

Advice for PhD students/postdocs

James (Mac) Shine is a PI and fellow at the University of Sydney. We talk about his background in sports, using fMRI to integrate various parts of neuroscience, collaboration, and much more. BJKS Podcast is a podcast about neuroscience, psychology, and anything vaguely related, hosted by Benjamin James Kuper-Smith.
