In the first episode of our science communication and outreach mini-series, Knowing Neurons interviews Dr. Ben Rein, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University and, outside the lab, a science communicator with an audience of over 900 thousand on TikTok, Instagram, and BiliBili. We discuss Ben’s research, thoughts on science communication, and his experience going viral during the COVID-19 pandemic. Visit benrein.com for links to all of Ben’s social media channels!
Written and produced by Chaoqun Yin, Elizabeth Burnette, Ebrahim Feghhi, and Ayushe Sharma.
