S8:EP10 - How Psychedelic Research is Reshaping Mental Health Care
In this episode of How to Be WiSE, we sit down with Danica Johnson and Diana Orsini, two researchers working at the forefront of psychedelic science and mental health. From ketamine to psilocybin, they share how these emerging therapies are reshaping our understanding of the brain and offering new hope for treating conditions like depression.
We dive into their journeys into research, the realities of working in a highly regulated and evolving field, and the powerful (and sometimes surprising) impact these treatments can have on patients. They also open up about the challenges behind the scenes; from ethical considerations to emotional resilience, and share advice for students interested in neuroscience and research.
If you’re curious about the future of mental health treatment or considering a path in research, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

S8:EP9 - STEM Beyond the Norm: The Chemistry of Beauty with Asia Fee
In this episode of How to Be WiSE, we sit down with Asia Fee: cosmetic chemist, science communicator, entrepreneur, and founder of Alchemist Asia. Asia shares her journey into the world of cosmetic chemistry, from experimenting with lipstick formulations in high school to building a platform that combines beauty, science, and education.
We talk about what cosmetic chemists actually do, the STEM behind skincare formulation, and how to think critically about popular skincare claims and trends online. Asia also opens up about her experience as a woman in STEM, the misconceptions surrounding beauty-related science careers, and why communication, business, and interdisciplinary learning are so important for students entering the field.
To wrap up, Asia gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her experience on Beast Games and reflects on how her scientific mindset shaped the way she approached competition, risk, and teamwork.
This episode is one you don't want to miss. It is such an empowering conversation on science, beauty, entrepreneurship, and navigating your own path in STEM.
