How does the eye work? Well... Ehm... You have the eye of course, than the light goes inside the eye, through the pupil... and then the light hits the RETINA. Wait... the what now?! "A carpet of neurons"! That's how our interviewee, Laura, describes the retina, the sheet of cells in our eyes, that detects light, and allows us to... well, to see! In today's episode, Giuliano & Cecilia have a lovely conversation with the PhD student Laura Celotto about the eye, the retina, and... FISH! (I know... AGAIN!) Laura is a scientist and an actress. She studied Neuroscience in Trieste, where she found out that neurons can wire up in beautiful architectures like the retina. Currently, she is a PhD student in Dresden, where she studies the retina regeneration in the zebrafish, a tiny little fish from South Asia. Apart from being a nerdy scientist, she is also a passionate reader: “Three men in a boat” – which is her favourite book – describes her life better than this bio ;-) Full transcript of the episode: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zy-NEgtjh-H27xtdEP4XXc9DZfRzASgB/view?usp=sharing References for catnip fun-fact: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/4/eabd9135 Your hosts this week are Giuliano Didio & Cecilia Cannarozzo.
