Daniel Colón-Ramos is an Associate Professor of Cell Biology at the Yale School of Medicine. His lab uses C. elegans to study how the brain forms precise neural connections during development. Colón-Ramos was born and raised in Puerto Rico and is a co-founder of Ciencia Puerto Rico (http://www.cienciapr.org/en), a non-profit organization that connects Puerto Rican scientists who are spread around the globe, to promote scientific research and education in Puerto Rico.
Daniel Colón-Ramos talks to Dan Rather about how his life experiences inspired him to become a scientist and encourage scientific exploration. (Talk recorded in February 2018)
How is the neuronal synapse assembled to produce specific behaviors and store memories? Dr. Colon-Ramos studies C. elegans to address this fundamental question. (Talk recorded in July 2017)
