Our series of interviews from SfN 2016 concludes with a grand finale! Two fantastic researchers share their experiences studying neural circuits regulating important behaviors. First, Joe sits down with Dr. Annegret Falkner to discuss her amazing work on aggression circuits, as well as her thoughts on the current academic job market (she has since been hired as a faculty member in the Princeton Department of Neuroscience). Next, Misha talks to Dr. William Giardino from Stanford about his work on the regulation of sleep and wakefulness, and the relevance of this research for understanding neurological and psychiatric disorders. Enjoy!
