This week Lab Out Loud welcomes Katherine Hatcher to the show. As a fifth year Neuroscience PhD Candidate at University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Katherine investigates circadian rhythms and how exposure to environmental factors alters behavior and physiology, particularly in midlife women. Katherine joins co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler to discuss her path into research, her day-to-day work as a scientist, and how we might apply research in her field to help live our lives better. #ScientistOutLoud Lab Out Loud found Katherine (and many other scientists) on #sciencetwitter. Throughout season 13, co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler will be showcasing some of these scientists and their work. Shownotes at: https://laboutloud.com/2019/10/episode-213-katherine-hatcher/
