Testimonials
I enjoyed the interview and discussion with Wilf. He asked the right questions, placing my research findings in a broader neuroscience perspective. He kept the audience in mind, and elaborated on technical topics, explaining them clearly.
I admire the mission of Think Fast and the suite of programs on WaterCooler Neuroscience, which seeks to allow a direct line for researchers to communicate about their work. Findings can sometimes become diluted during the process of communication, and I like that foremost of the objectives of ThinkFast is to ensure the fidelity of communication around scientific advances. Wilf is a talented host and a delight to interview with.
I very much enjoyed our discussions and the ways in which you pushed me to think about real world consequences of the research, to unpack counterintuitive ideas, and to recognize the ways in which computer models of brain function have a long way to go!

I always have a great time when speaking with Wilf. He has a specific style that allows his guests to feel comforted, allowing the conversation to flow in such an engaging manner while also keeping them on their toes with tough questions. His show does a great job translating all the complicated neuroscience language into accessible information for his listeners. It truly is a fantastic show for all your neuroscience needs.
It was a great pleasure to be interviewed by you. You really have a great way of conveying complicated stuff in a very accessible way.
I had a great time on the show and enjoyed talking about my work for a different audience. Wilf is a great interviewer, he asks insightful questions, and in some ways, he did a better job explaining my research than I did.
It was fun to participate because it allowed me to explain certain aspects of my lab’s research on translational mechanisms of fear memory that are often underlooked.
It was a great pleasure to participate in the WaterCooler Neuroscience podcast. The interview was thought-provoking and overall a deeply enjoyable experience.
This is an outstanding and relatively easy to understand description of our research. I highly recommend it
I had a great time being part of WaterCooler Neuroscience. Wilf was a great host, who was actively interested in hearing about my science. I highly recommend you listen, Wilf’s ability to break down complex topics into digestible content is rare in the podcast field.
It was a great pleasure to be interviewed for WaterCooler Neuroscience. We managed to chat about complex cognitive and neuroscience issues of face and object processing, but did so with remarkable simplicity and clarity! Communicating science is hard, but Wilf did it! Thanks, and I hope we can chat again soon.
Wilf demonstrates great ability to get through to the deep points of a topic while maintaining an engaging conversation. It’s great to talk to someone who is both knowledgeable and excited about your topic. In most popular media reports and not a few scholarly reviews, there’s the sense that others don’t really get the intricacies of science, or get all too easily wrapped up in the headline materials and scoring points. If the topic is your life’s work, you don’t want it to be constantly dumbed down to ‘elevator speeches. Of course, I’m not saying no to a TED talk, but this is a completely different approach that gives full credence to the audience’s intelligence.
The podcast is a great way to disseminate science, and Wilf provides a fun opportunity to share information about your work in a relaxed and accessible way.
