Meet our writers!

For the next few months we'll be sharing a new writer profile each Friday giving you an inside look at the writer behind each week's article.

✍️ This week meet Joe Stucynski, the writer of this week’s article about the exciting development of a neural recording technology called Neuropixels.

😴🧠 Joe is a second year PhD student in the University of Pennsylvania's Neuroscience Graduate Group and his research interests revolve around how and why the brain falls asleep. Ever had trouble falling asleep or falling into a deep sleep? Joe studies brain activity during these transitions between wakefulness, sleep, and REM sleep.

🤔 Joe has always been fascinated with psychology and behavior, and loves studying sleep because he thinks there are still so many things left to learn about it.

🤸‍♂️ 🧗‍♂️ 📚 Before starting his PhD Joe competed in gymnastics for 18 years. He now channels his athletic energy into rock climbing, and also enjoys reading vintage sci-fi novels and short stories.
