Class Experience

This will be an interactive class. Children will be introduced to two main areas 1. A brief introduction to the human brain with some interesting facts about the things our brains can do, 2. Comparison between human and animal brain/thinking. I will present pictures and materials to illustrate the different concepts. Children will be given the opportunity for interaction with open ended questions that touch on the practical aspects of neuroscience.

This will be an interactive class and students are encouraged to ask questions or comment verbally or via chat. They do not have to communicate and can be a passive listener as well. However, irrespective of that, I do ask that the children have the cameras on during the class (unless the parent requests otherwise prior to class). Thank you for understanding.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a neuroscientist and educator. I enjoy teaching children about science - in particular, how science connects the world around us in ways we don't often think about. I try to encourage children to get excited about learning new concepts and to apply them in different situations. I teach classes on neuroscience, animal cognition, public health, and biology. I also enjoy hosting classes on Star Wars, and special topics of interest, mostly as requested by my own students!
I do animal research in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. I have 3 Master degrees - Clinical Psychology, Biopsychology, and Neuroscience. I completed my Masters (MS) and doctorate (Ph.D.) in Neuropharmacology from Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC). I then did two postdoctoral fellowships in Neuropsychopharmacology at Harvard Medical School. I was a university professor before joining a global pharmaceutical company. 
My teaching philosophy is simple - I try to encourage children to be independent thinkers and to find connections in life about them. This will help them stay excited about learning and be life-long learners.
