Research Associate Professor of Neuroscience, Psychological & Brain Sciences, and Biology; Director, Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience; Associate Director, Kilachand Honors College
Current Research
In recent years my efforts have shifted from studying the cognitive neurobiology of memory to science education. This shift in priority coincided with my role developing and overseeing the Undergraduate Program in Neuroscience. I also teach for the CAS Core Curriculum and Kilachand Honors College.
