Sleep is an integral, yet often overlooked, part of a Princeton students daily schedule. But, what does our brain actually do when it’s asleep? This is a focus of Princeton Computational Memory Lab. Dr. Elizabeth McDevitt, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab, likes to picture sleep as the replaying of a playlist of memories and experiences that your brain builds throughout the day when you’re awake.  Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond sat down with McDevitt and Dr. Ken Norman, chair of the psychology department. Listen in to hear more about their insights on the role of sleep and how it relates to how we learn, remember, and apply the things we experience and see everyday.

We asked Princeton undergraduates to send us the names of their favorite teacher's assistants — and they answered. Brains, Black Holes, and Beyond interviewed three STEM TAs: Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) PhD candidate Jessica Jin, COS Master's Student Rish Raghu, and Math Undergraduate Ben Zenker '24. They explain the demands of their job and how they balance the research and studies on top of it all. Listen in.
