82 On being alone together – Amy Shyer & Alan Rodrigues

Amy Shyer & Alan Rodrigues co-direct the Laboratory of Morphogenesis at Rockefeller University. They are also married. Together, we reflect on what it means to think creatively in biology. Amy and Alan discuss the importance of challenging established frameworks , cultivating a “ feeling for the organism ,” and balancing conceptual imagination with close attention to observable phenomena. They are true science buddies , with their complementarity and partnership allowing them to challenge each other by diving deeper into the ambiguity and loneliness of research.
