20. Dr. Andrew Huberman - Neuroscientist and Head of the Huberman Neurobiology Lab at Stanford University

When you get excited by something cool you’ve learned, you want to tell everyone right?

You don’t have to be a neuroscientist to know that, if you have knowledge that could help others — or simply give them joy — you have to share it.

That’s why this neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman, Professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine, has never stopped learning and never stopped teaching — both his students and the public.

In this episode of HawkeTalk, he and Erik chat about what a life spent pursuing a passion for knowledge looks like, including:

The choices and scholastic path that led Dr. Huberman to neurobiology
The joys of research and running your own lab
How he found a calling for doing science in public (and why he disregards critics)
Why the U.S. is at risk of losing its spot as the most effective lab systems in the world
The intersection of the COVID-19 pandemic and his research
