I’m Sahir, the founder, host and editor of this podcast. I started the SBS to help make science, particularly psychology and neuroscience, accessible to everyone and bring to light the stories of those who are at the forefront of research today. I have an incredible group of friends who have stepped in to help along the way and you can check them out here.
As for me, I am a researcher at Lancaster University, UK working on developing better integration and access of mental health services. I have a PhD in Neuroscience from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Unfortunately I do not have the kiwi accent because I spent substantial amounts of my life in India, the USA and, my current home, the United Kingdom. I have a love for sports and adventure and often keep more up to date with football, cricket, NBA and F1 results than my own research work.
I want to welcome you to the Smooth Brain Society hopefully you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy recording. We are always looking for every bit of help and feedback so anything from sharing the episodes, subscribing to the channels, following our socials and contacting us with ideas are all appreciated.
Best,
