Carolyn R. Bertozzi

Nice.

And also, I'll say I f- saw on YouTube this comment that I included on the list here that was, um, somebody916news on YouTube said that they enjoyed me talking in the Kevlar episode about, um, the challenges that women have had to face in, uh, chemistry and that maybe I could talk about, um, Dr. Curie and, um, Dr. Bertozzi and, um, people like that.

Uh, and I, I've done a little bit of that.

I think I did, um, an episode on Marie Maynard Daly.

[gentle music] This is From Our Neurons to Yours, the podcast from the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University, bringing you to the frontiers of brain science.

Today on the show, I'm excited to bring you my conversation with Carolyn Bertozzi.

She's a Nobel laureate, a MacArthur Genius Grantee, and an all-around cool person.

I failed to bring this up in our conversation, but she used to play with Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine back in the day.

But understanding these molecules is so complex and challenging that Carolyn had to invent a new branch of chemistry in order to study them.

So we're gonna be talking about how this research is opening doors, not only within neuroscience, but across biology and drug development.

We're gonna get into some fun chemistry here, but we're in extremely good hands, so let's jump right into my conversation with Carolyn Bertozzi.

Carolyn Bertozzi, welcome to From Our Neurons to Yours.
