Dr. Alan Carver is a neurologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center where he treats patients with neurological complications of cancer.  Interviewed by Maeve McQuillan, the conversation starts with his journey into medicine and what attracted him to neurology.

He describes his fascination with the brain, and how when the brain changes people change and how it gets to the essence of personality and function. 

In this inaugural Fiftyfaces Focus Medicine and Science podcast series we dive into disciplines that are rich and multi-layered, hold the power to transform lives and outcomes but also suffer from underrepresentation, neglect and bias.
