An anxious woman’s worst fear comes true. A young man grasps for a ladder out of poverty and depression.
In Episode 10 of the Road to Resilience podcast, two resilience stories are told live by two neuroscience PhD students–Ana Efthymiou and Joe Simon–at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
These stories were performed live at the “Studying the Brain” storytelling event hosted by the School of Medicine’s Friedman Brain Institute at El Barrio’s Artspace on March 11, 2019.
Road to Resilience brings you stories and insights to help you thrive in a challenging world. From fighting burnout and trauma, to building resilient families and communities, the podcast explores what’s possible when science meets the human spirit.
Ana Efthymiou, a PhD student at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine.
Joe Simon, PhD student at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
The series is based on the well-received book Resilience: The Science of Mastering Life’s Greatest Challenges, co-authored by Dennis S. Charney, MD, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Dean of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and Steven Southwick, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at Yale University.
Road to Resilience is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and Google Play (link works best in Chrome). New episodes of the series are released on the last Wednesday of each month.
