The podcast medium opens a window into conversations between scientific experts, providing opportunities for the broader scientific community to learn about the personal history of scientific endeavors, as well as new innovations and outcomes. Nowhere is this more evident than with OHBM’s own Neurosalience podcast, where the host, Dr. Peter Bandettini, discusses with diverse guests topics that include critical moments in human brain mapping history, recent methodological advances, community-led efforts, and challenges in the field. In this presentation, Dr. Bandettini will discuss the origin, development, and future of the OHBM Neurosalience podcast, as well how he selects guests, how he prepares, and most importantly, his constant quest to ask better questions.

Audience members will learn a podcaster’s approach to literature, presentations, and discussions that strives to balance curiosity and healthy skepticism - always looking for the best questions that open up new insights. They will also learn the workflow for creating podcast content, and have opportunities to interact with Dr. Bandettini to answer their own questions.
