  • From Lab to Life Dr. Daniela Tropea on Translational Neuroscience & the Future of Mental Health Care

    From Lab to Life Dr. Daniela Tropea on Translational Neuroscience & the Future of Mental Health Care
    Jan 29 2026
    How does breakthrough brain science become real treatment for patients? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Daniela Tropea, Associate Professor of Molecular Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin, to explore how cutting-edge neuroscience research is being translated into life-changing therapies for mental health and neurodevelopmental disorders. As the leader of Trinity's Translational Neuroscience Laboratory, Dr. Tropea has helped reshape our understanding of brain plasticity and growth factors — including her influential work on insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). Her research directly contributed to the development of Trofinetide, the first FDA-approved treatment for Rett Syndrome, and continues to inspire new therapeutic possibilities for conditions like Fragile X and Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. In this conversation, we dive into: · How fundamental neuroscience discoveries turn into real-world treatments. · The future of personalized medicine in mental health care. · Why mentorship, diversity in research, and public outreach matter for scientific progress. · How brain plasticity research could change the way we treat complex disorders. Dr. Tropea is also a celebrated educator and international collaborator, recognized for innovation in teaching and mentorship — and for making complex science accessible to broader communities.

    Jan 28 2026
    As artificial intelligence reshapes business, content, and creativity, one big question remains: what can humans do that machines never will? In this episode, we sit down with Mark W. Schaefer — marketing futurist, bestselling author, and Executive Director of Schaefer Marketing Solutions — to discuss his powerful new book, Audacious: How Humans Win in an AI Marketing World. Mark argues that the future won't belong to the people who try to outsmart AI — it will belong to those bold enough to out-human it. Through case studies, interviews, and more than 100 actionable insights, Audacious becomes both a roadmap and a rallying cry for creators, marketers, and leaders who want to reclaim authenticity in a world flooded with automated content. In this conversation, we explore: · What inspired Mark to write Audacious. · How to find purpose and meaning in an AI-driven workplace. · Why being human is becoming the ultimate competitive advantage. · How to inject courage, originality, and audacity into your brand story.
