Update: In each class, we will be discussing and doing a deep dive into the new episodes in Season 2 of the Mandalorian. This is a fun and inclusive hangout club for fans of Star Wars and The Mandalorian. In each class we will discuss the plot, the characters, and the little details of each episode. We will also bring in references and connection with the Star Wars movies. Finally, we'll talk about what we expect the upcoming episodes in Season 2 to cover - maybe more Baby Yoda, Boba Fett, Ashoka Tano? We can all weigh in! Each student will have an opportunity to talk and share as they feel comfortable. The discussion will be student-led and student-centered. I will facilitate and will ensure that everyone treats each other respectfully, with a kind listening ear, and that everyone has an opportunity to share their views. The class is meant to be a fun social experience for children who like Star Wars and the Mandalorian. It is an ongoing and live online class. Image credit: Creative Commons - Hannaford

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.
