This is the second level of my neuroscience classes. It would be preferable for students to have taken my Introduction to Neuroscience class or have some background knowledge about the brain. In this class, we are going to learn about the parts of a neuron. Students will also learn about the types of neurons in the nervous system and how they relay messages. We will discover some of the diseases/disorders arising from dysfunction of the neuron and/or its parts. The class is part instruction but largely discussion-based and interactive. There is an optional activity component. I will provide the material list needed for the activity prior to class. For the safety and privacy of the children, I ask that the children have the cameras on during the class (unless the parent requests otherwise prior to class).Thank you for understanding.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
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.
