Join us for music and conversation! 🧠 🎵
Through live music and conversation, we will explore the concept of “variation on a theme”—comparing how subtle genetic shifts alter neural wiring in schizophrenia to how jazz musicians transform shared musical structures. Together, Kelly and Julie will examine the thin line between altered perception and artistic output, reflecting on iconic figures like Bud Powell to discuss creativity, mental disorders, and the human experience.

🔔 Our podcast, Atelier, is back for a third season!

How can a young girl’s experience of starvation lead to metabolic issues in her grandchildren? The answer is transgenerational epigenetic inheritance – how biological responses to physical, emotional, or environmental stress can be passed down through generations.

In this episode, Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin, the Herbert and Florence Irving Assistant Professor of Cell Research at the Zuckerman Institute at Columbia University in New York City, explains the mechanics behind transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and provides a glimpse into her latest project, TRANSMIND, which investigates whether memories alone can be inherited in some form.

She also shares how growing up with foster siblings fed her interest in parental-offspring relationships, explores whether scientists can be activists, and challenges the assumed objectivity of science.

Bianca Jones Marlin was a 2025 – 2026 Reid Hall Faculty Visitor, an initiative jointly supported by the Columbia Global Paris Center and the Institute for Ideas and Imagination (@iii_snfphi).

🎧 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms. Find this and all Atelier episodes at the link in bio. 🔗

🔬 Congratulations to Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute BRAINYAC graduates!

The Brain Research Apprenticeships in New York at Columbia (BRAINYAC) summer research program pairs high school students from partner programs in Upper Manhattan and the South Bronx with Columbia neuroscientists for hands-on lab experience, mentorship, and a front-row seat to discovery. The future of science is in good hands!

Special thanks to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, the Pinkerton Foundation, and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke for supporting this program.
