Episode 3: Dr Edythe London - Allyship for diversity in brain research

“Individuals from underrepresented backgrounds may have gaps in their training, and it doesn’t mean that they can’t be successful. It may take a little bit longer and require a little bit more support. But as soon as the trainee develops on his or her own, they really need to be given enough encouragement to be brave and to think big.”
Dr Edythe London is a Professor-in-Residence in the Departments of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences and Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, and Thomas and Katherine Pike Chair in Addictive Studies at the University of California at Los Angeles (United States).
In this episode, Dr. London advocates for recognizing the potential of individuals from diverse backgrounds irrespective of their training or origins, echoing the support she received from her own role models who championed her when she began her career.
