Ethan Meitz and Jerry Wang discuss molecular simulation, heat transfer and the conversations that have shaped Meitz’s doctoral research. The episode connects computational methods with collaboration and mentoring, offering a practical view of research supported by the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship.

This is the first session in a series of three online fireside chats organised by the ALBA Network with the aims of understanding what’s not working in existing mentoring programmes in (neuro)science and identify the challenges and unmet mentorship needs of the next generation of scientists across the globe. The feedback from these sessions will be used to develop a tailored ALBA mentoring programme.

In this webinar, the ALBA Network & World Women in Neuroscience partner to address equity, inclusion & diversity issues across the Sub-Saharan African neuroscience community. The panel discussion will explore the challenges and biases faced by African neuroscientists while establishing their careers - focusing on a lack of mentoring and networking but also on the difficulties to raise funding - as well as display the strengths present in the region, which can be exploited to find solutions.
