Deaf Hub Exploring Perspectives: Victoria "Tori" Popov, PhD Candidate in Neuroscience
Deaf Hub Exploring Perspectives (DHEP) Series: Biomedical Science features Victoria “Tori” Popov and her presentation, “The Journey to Becoming a deaf Neuroscientist Studying how Exercise Shapes the Brain in Schizophrenia” on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 from 4 to 5 p.m. at Campus Center (CPC) 2610, Bamboo Room*. Interpreting services have been requested.
RIT/NTID alumna (BS '17, MSc '19) Victoria Popov, a 5th year PhD Candidate at the University of Rochester, will share her non-traditional journey to becoming a deaf computational neuroscientist. Her research focuses on understanding how treadmill walking influences the brain, with the goal of uncovering potential therapeutic benefits for individuals with and without schizophrenia. She will also share advice on how to optimize opportunities during graduate school.
DHEP: Biomedical Science is a series spotlighting various scientists with hearing loss to share their perspectives of their challenges while navigating through their academic career. This series is partially supported by NIGMS of the National Institutes of Health through Rochester Bridges to the Doctorate (T32GM150525) and RIT U-RISE (T34GM145542).
