Description:

This week on the On Your Mind neuroscience podcast, 

We're joined by neuroscience power couple Ian Blum and Robin Keeley for a discussion on the difficulties of being in a relationship where both people want academic positions, or the two body problem, and ethical issues surrounding a recent paper genetically modifying human embryonic cells. 

This week’s paper uses a modification of traditional drosophila learning models to compare the neural circuit used for visual and olfactory memories, and we spend as much time talking about the ups and downs of studying behaviour as we do on the actual circuits.
