Today we are joined by Dr Kristen Smith-Edwards who talks about her rather unconventional route to earning a faculty position at the Mayo Clinic, US. Her passion for neuroscience research is inspiring, as she discusses key career-defining moments in her academic journey so far, including a coffee-break introduction to her research on the gut-brain axis.
