Kinase Pathways Driving the Future of Tick Control: Interview with Emily Johnson”
Could hacking a tick’s biology help prevent the next outbreak? In this episode of the YJBM, we sit down with Emily Johnson to travel across the scale of life, all the way from the environment that surrounds us to a molecular pathway called kinase signaling. We dive into the fundamentals of vector biology and the transmission of diseases like Lyme. We also discuss the tools and technologies driving the field forward, from mRNA vaccines to the potential of AI, and what the future holds for understanding disease and transmission through the lens of signaling pathways.

Stress and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Interview with Dr. Amy Arnsten
How does stress affect the prefrontal cortex? In this episode of the YJBM podcast, host Delyar Khosroabadi speaks with Dr. Amy Arnsten, Albert E. Kent Professor of Neuroscience and Professor of Psychology. Dr. Arnsten shares the experience that sparked her interest in neuroscience, her journey as an undergraduate creating the first neuroscience major at Brown University, and what drew her to study the prefrontal cortex. She discusses dynamic network connectivity, the mechanism of action of guanfacine, and why prefrontal deficits begin to appear in middle age. Dr. Arnsten also offers fascinating insights on how exercise and a healthy diet can benefit the prefrontal cortex.
