Jovo, as you’ll learn, is theoretically oriented, and enjoys the formalism of mathematics to approach questions that begin with a sense of wonder. So after I learn more about his overall approach, the first topic we discuss is the world’s currently largest map of an entire brain… the connectome of an insect, the fruit fly. We talk about his role in this collaborative effort, what the heck a connectome is, why it’s useful and what to do with it, and so on.
