Every book Kay Tye recommended on podcasts

Kay Tye appeared on the Huberman Lab podcast to discuss the biology of social interactions and emotions. During the conversation, she recommended and discussed the book Advice for a Young Investigator by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, which she often referred to by the author's name. Kay Tye brought up the book when describing what was kept in her desk drawer as a graduate student while discussing the broader culture of academic science. She recalled that the text was thin and served as a quick read that offered whimsical anecdotes and pertinent insights. However, Tye also noted that the book was filled with misogynistic overtones and glamorously depicted workaholic tendencies. By reflecting on this text, Tye provided listeners with personal context regarding her early academic journey, while evaluating both the useful guidance and the problematic cultural elements present in traditional scientific literature aimed at mentoring young researchers entering the field.
