From Corals to Climate Solutions: Dr. Kim Cobb on Uncovering Earth’s Climate Story

Sunday, September 13, 2026 • Duration 22:03

In this episode of Her Path to Success, Sia Gullapalli speaks with Dr. Kim Cobb, climate scientist and Director of the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society at Brown University.

Dr. Cobb shares how her research uses corals as archives of Earth’s climate history, helping scientists understand how phenomena like El Niño and La Niña have changed over thousands of years. She discusses her experiences conducting fieldwork across the tropical Pacific, witnessing the devastating effects of climate change on coral reefs, and how those experiences pushed her to think beyond understanding climate change toward helping solve it.

The conversation also explores Dr. Cobb’s path into climate science, her work contributing to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, her evolution as a scientist and leader, and her commitment to supporting women and the next generation of scientists. From reconstructing Earth’s past to preparing for its future, Dr. Cobb offers an inspiring look at how scientific curiosity can grow into meaningful action.

The Science of Sleep: Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery on the Adolescent Brain & Mental Health

Sunday, September 6, 2026 • Duration 16:56

How much does sleep really shape the way we think, feel, and function?

In this episode of Her Path to Success, I speak with Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University, whose research explores the connections between sleep, mental health, cognition, and psychiatric conditions in children and adolescents.

We discuss the science behind sleep and circadian rhythms, why adolescence is such an important period for sleep and brain development, and how disrupted sleep can intersect with conditions such as ADHD and other mental health challenges. Dr. Lunsford-Avery also shares her path into psychiatry and research, what continues to drive her questions as a scientist, and advice for students interested in neuroscience, psychology, and medicine.

This conversation is a reminder that something we do every single night can offer a fascinating window into the brain, and into our overall well-being.

From Creeks to Climate: Dr. Mary Poteet on Ecology, Research, and Finding Your Path in Science

Sunday, August 30, 2026 • Duration 23:00

What can a creek tell us about the impact humans are having on our planet?

In this episode of Her Path to Success, I sit down with Dr. Mary Poteet, Associate Professor of Practice in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Poteet studies how aquatic ecosystems respond to human-driven disturbances, from urbanization and rising temperatures to climate change and water availability.

We talk about her path from studying biological sciences and civil engineering to earning her Ph.D. in Integrative Biology, her research on urban creek ecosystems and vulnerable species, and the importance of getting students involved in real scientific research early in their careers. Dr. Poteet also shares her perspective on mentorship, navigating an interdisciplinary career, and what she hopes the next generation of scientists will bring to environmental research.

Whether you're interested in ecology, environmental science, climate change, or simply figuring out where your own curiosity might lead, this conversation is a reminder that some of the biggest scientific questions can begin by paying attention to the world right outside your door.
