In this episode of Holy Shift!, host Angela Gill Nelms speaks with Dr. Zachary Danziger, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Medicine at Georgia Tech and Emory University, about how the nervous system coordinates the bladder and urethra — and why disruptions in those signals can lead to conditions like underactive bladder, which affects millions of older adults. Dr. Danziger shares how his lab uses electrical nerve stimulation and AI-driven mathematical models to better understand bladder dysfunction and develop more precise, predictive treatments.


The conversation highlights the role of system neuroscience, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustained public research funding in solving common but often overlooked health challenges. From theoretical models to real-world clinical impact, this episode explores how engineering and neuroscience are coming together to reshape the future of bladder health.

Dr. Fong discusses her work on the brain’s amazing built-in power to change and adapt itself, a process called neuroplasticity. Her research team is exploring how to use this ability of the brain to help people with vision loss, including those with amblyopia, or “lazy eye.” By using techniques like light stimulation and machine learning, they’re finding new ways to help the brain see again. Beyond the lab, Dr. Fong also works with blind and visually impaired students to make science more accessible and inspiring for the next generation.
