The Reciprocity of Life and Neuroscience with Joseph Normandin

Dr. Joseph Normandin, Senior Lecturer and Undergraduate Director in the GSU Neuroscience Institute, discusses how he turned his passion for neuroscience into an impactful career despite having a rocky start in college.

In addition to discussing his battles with impostor syndrome, Joe shares about the impacts of coming of age as a gay man during the AIDS pandemic, and how his interest in human sexuality ultimately shaped his research.

As an educator, Joe has focused his efforts on supporting the students who-- like him-- could easily fall through the cracks or convince themselves they aren't "cut out" for science. He talks about some of these initiatives and why he is hopeful for the future of the scientific community.
