From the Internet’s Beginnings to Our Understanding of Consciousness, This Editor Has Seen It All

Senior mind and brain editor Gary Stix has covered the breadth of
science and technology over the past 35 years at Scientific
American. He joins host Rachel Feltman to take us through the rise
of the Internet and the acceleration of advancement in neuroscience
that he’s covered throughout his time here. Stix retired earlier
this month, and we’d like to thank him for his intellect,
inquisitiveness and inspiring run at Scientific American!
