Abstract
In our interview with Nicholas Diamond, he shares his journey from cognitive neuroscientist to behavioral scientist in Canada’s federal government. As Nick was finishing his PhD investigating human memory and aging, he planned to continue climbing the academic ladder, envisioning becoming a professor. Through postdoctoral experiences and a broadened perspective, Nick realized academia did not hold a monopoly on meaningful scientific work. He now applies his research skills to policy issues like COVID-19 and misinformation. While unsure of his future path, Nick embraces uncertainty and finds satisfaction in his current role.
