The Science of Memory and Imagination with Dr. Muireann Irish
from Her Path to Success · host Sia
In this episode, I had the incredible opportunity to speak with Dr. Muireann Irish from the University of Sydney, a cognitive neuroscientist whose research explores how memory, imagination, and empathy shape who we are. We talked about what happens in the brain during Alzheimer’s and dementia, how imagination helps us understand ourselves, and why empathy matters in science. I loved hearing about her journey into neuroscience and how she’s inspiring more women to pursue research and curiosity-driven careers.
