Neuro-imaging for epilepsy in children and species protection

Dr Shane, Dr Lauren, Dr Suzie, and Dr Grazie are joined by Dr Emma Macdonald-Laurs, who is a paediatric neurologist and epileptologist from the Royal Children's Hospital and clinician-scientist fellow at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute to discuss her PhD from the University of Melbourne which explored imaging, treatment and network features of focal cortical dysplasia a major cause of epilepsy in children. She is particularly interested in surgically-remediable epilepsies, neuroimaging and artificial intelligence. The team also spoke to Monika Zabinskas, Life Sciences Manager of the Carnivores & Reptile team Healesville Sanctuary. Monika studied Zoology at university, and has worked for Zoos Victoria for 15 years. Monika has a strong focus on endangered species and is particularly interested in protecting Tasmanian Devils into the future. She also manages the stud book for the species tracking breeding between animals.Program page: Einstein-A-Go-GoFacebook page: Einstein-A-Go-GoTwitter: Einstein-A-Go-Go
