Gwyneth Card is a professor of neuroscience who currently (2023) works at Columbia University, a principal investigator at Colombia's Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behaviour Institute and an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

She is featured on the list of women in neuroscience on wikipedia.

Career
In 2008, Card was a research fellow in HHMI Janelia Farm Research Campus with her project titled: A model for decision-making in the flight initiation system of Drosophila.

She started her position at Janelia in 2010, after she completed her Bachelor’s degree from Harvard University, an MPhil with Simon Laughlin at the University of Cambridge, and a received her PhD. with Michael Dickinson at Caltech. Between 2010-2022 she was also a group leader at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus.

Her focus is in neuroscience and more specifically in the neural mechanisms and circuit architectures.

Card was invited to host an event at McGovern Institute for Brain Research MIT Colloquium on the Brain and Cognition in November 2019 and spoke about her and her teams current research. She has also hosted a seminar at The University of Queensland Australia, in July 2020 about "Small brains, big decisions: uncovering neural mechanisms for real-world choices".

Talks
Prof. Gwyneth Card has been featured in a few discussions about her current research and the growth of research in the neuroscience field and about flies and how they see and escape.
