Neuroscience & Psychology Students - Career Paths & Advice

Over the past year, I’ve been quietly building something that means a lot to me. I created a newsletter called Dopamine Diaries, a space where I interview students in neuroscience and psychology to share their academic and career journeys, how their degree helps them in their academic or non-academic career, give advice to students interested in this field and much more! There were many butterfly effect moments that led me to create this, including Sachi C. newsletter Invite Health and creating videos for The ChiLD Lab Real Talk Tuesday Series. But what really motivated was my 18 year old self. She often found herself asking questions like "What can I actually do with a science degree that's not medschool? What does research really look like? How do people figure out their path and get these opportunities?" She would have benefited from a newsletter like Dopamine Diaries, where she can read other people journeys, gain practical insights and advice from people who’ve been through it, and potentially reach out to them for coffee chats (their contact information is provided near the end of the interview!) If you're a student trying to figure things out (or someone who enjoys learning about different paths in the brain science), then I highly suggest subscribing to my newsletter on Substack for free and share it with anyone who might find it beneficial! Thank you to the current Dopamine Diaries interviewees who trusted me with their stories and for making this initiative come true: Madeleine Matthews, Lauren Omoto, Angelina E. Saba, Davina Premraj, Sachi C. and Isabella Robson If you're interested in being interviewed for Dopamine Diaries or have any feedback, feel free to reach out to me LinkedIn :)
