Dan Scott - Would you rather?

from PAVELCAST · host Pavel

We are joined by Dan Scott, a Neuroscience PhD, and researcher out of Texas. Per usual, we cover Dan's origin story:  growing up in New York, college in Ohio, and graduate school in the City that never sleeps. We cover a wide range of topics, mostly in science: the brain and how little we understand of it,  machine-brain interface, AI, and whether we live in a simulation. We talk about diabetes, our gut biome, and fun music stuff - like how will music venues survive this pandemic? We go through at least three amazing 'Would you rather?"s. We get great hot new band music tips and we teleport to a gorgeous creek in the middle of summer. To quote Dan, he brings a scientific rigor to everything he works on, making this an awesome episode with a ton of laughs.  Enjoy!
