Elon Musk recently said that his company, Neuralink, has implanted their device into non-human primates—moving beyond the pigs with whom they were working around this time last year. We'll talk about how realistic the goals of this company are given the current state of neuroscience.

I'm a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, and I think of this kind of like office hours with a teacher where you can discuss anything you find interesting.

I have a podcast, Wired to be Weird, about the brain with episodes devoted to specific topics - like why we dream & fall in love to why people develop dementia or déjà vu. You can get it wherever podcasts are found.

Here's one place: http://anthropoid.science/podcast

Do you dig the idea of a weekly live conversation about science? I certainly do! I'd love to make it viable to do regularly when I've finished my PhD. I know not everyone is in a position to support people in this way - but, if you are, here's my Patreon: https://patreon.com/anthropoid
