What happens when a bubbly and brilliant scientist lets her faith and passion for justice animate her life? Join host, Grace Klise, and student co-host, Mary Margaret Schroeder ’24, as they chat with the incredible April Pruitt, a Ph.D. student in neuroscience who is making waves in autism genetics research.


April takes us on a riveting journey from her science-loving childhood in Louisiana to conducting groundbreaking research at Yale where she proudly wears her STM shirt in the lab and marvels at the divine mysteries of brain development. For April, there is no conflict between science and faith.
