About Us
BrainSearch is an online interview show created to help aspiring scientists connect with graduates, researchers, and professors.

What’s the point?
There seems to be a disconnect between passionate students and passionate researchers, especially in times of social distancing. We want to create a platform where high school and undergraduate students can learn from the experiences of those who have been through it all. In turn, interviewees get to share their unique ideas and thoughts with a younger audience through a single “coffee chat” conversation.
