The Journey to Neuroscience and Writing
The speaker's journey into neuroscience and writing began after facing a significant career setback when a startup failed. Seeking clarity and direction, the speaker returned to university to study the workings of the brain, driven by curiosity about human thought processes. To document this educational journey, a newsletter was created, focusing on translating complex scientific concepts into practical insights for everyday life. This newsletter gained considerable traction, amassing around 100,000 readers and eventually leading to the opportunity to publish a book titled 'Tiny Experiments.'
