Summary

Maria Tosches (EMBL Predoctoral Fellow, 2007-2014) speaks with Thomas Vaccari (EMBL Predoctoral fellow, 1999-2004) about her first experiences of 'Evo-Devo' at EMBL, the challenges of working on non-established models and studying the cerebral cortex of reptiles. This interview was recorded in July 2022. Maria was the recipient of the 2022 John Kendrew Award. You can watch her award presentation here - • Maria Tosches - 2022 John Kendrew Award Re...
