In this episode of Science in Real Time, host Carli Reyes sits down with Dr. Reese Findley, Senior Scientists at ViQi, to explore how machine learning is transforming the way we interpret complex biological systems. Drawing on her background in neuroscience and behavioral research, Dr. Findley shares how her work uncovering hidden behavioral states in animal models evolved into designing AI frameworks that detect subtle, high-dimensional cellular phenotypes in imaging data. 

What You’ll Hear:

• From Brains to Biology – Dr. Findley’s journey from neuroscience and behavior research into AI-driven cell imaging.
• Hidden Phenotypes Revealed – how machine learning models uncover patterns in cellular data that traditional analysis may miss.
• Making AI Interpretable – why transparency and collaboration are essential for building trust between computational and experimental teams.
• Women in AI & Science – mentorship, resilience, and navigating interdisciplinary career paths.
• The Future of AI in Discovery – opportunities, ethical responsibilities, and how emerging scientists can prepare for a data-driven era of biology.
