34 Women in Science discover where something has gone wrong and move the field forward altogether. You are certainly doing this for a purpose. What will humankind be able to do with the results of your research? I’m in basic research, not in applied research. I’m trying to understand better why brain folding emerges, for example. What we observe is an amazing relationship between the folding of the brain and its underlying organization. It's super interesting that sometimes species that are far apart in the phylogenetic tree have a similar folding pattern because they have a similar brain volume. In addition to genes having a causal role on the organization of our brain, there could be physical constraints playing a causal role on the organization of the and an observed higher intelligence among humans. But it doesn’t help when you look at the individual level. Now, across species, it’s very difficult to find a way to compare. How we define intelligence and then the framework to compare would be very difficult. Let’s not compare. Sometimes results are different from what you expected. Did that ever happen to you? Getting different results from what you expected is super interesting. What’s important is communicating them and interpreting them well in the context of what we know. There has been a problem for reproducibility in the field. I encourage people to share data, to work together, to share code, to reproduce their own studies. When you make everything available, you can
