Profile of Ben Barres at Brain Facts

I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Dr. Ben Barres for this brief profile. His Stanford lab works on understanding the role of glial cells (especially in neurodegenerative disease) and he is a crusader for gender equality in the sciences. As a female to male transgendered person, he has a unique perspective on sexism and bias in science. Read the 'Meet the Researcher' piece: Ben Barres, Glial Detective.
