Episode 004: Laura Burnett is a PhD student in the group of Prof. Maximilian Joesch at IST Austria. She‘s investigating how visual information is processed in the brain to control instinctive behaviors. Laura is also an amazing artist and she contributes her creative skills to science communication projects. We chat about the ‘slightly overlooked‘ superior colliculus, popular science books and the imposter syndrome. Laura reveals how she intended to become either a BBC Nature reporter or a Disney animator. We also discuss the ups and downs of changing your PhD project and we get idealistic about the alternative reality of scientific publishing. Enjoy!
