Dr Sarah McKay is an Oxford educated neuroscientist, as well as the author of The Women's Brain Book and Baby Brain. She is also an influential neuroscience commentator who has been featured on ABC, quoted on the Wall Street Journal, and appeared as a TedX speaker. Today I had the chance to talk to her about her career and her transition out of the lab and into science communication. I also had the chance to learn her views on finding purpose in your work, the futility of the modern biohacker movement, and taking on the challenge of parenthood.

Dr John Ratey is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, an internationally recognized authority on exercise and neuropsychiatry, and the author of Go Wild and Spark. He's also been a longtime advocate of exercise and reconnecting with our ancestors' ways of life, ideas that today echo across many corners of the internet. Today I had the chance to talk to him about topics ranging from the essentials that we aren't getting from the modern world, how reconnecting with our origins betters our lives, neuroscience's failure to find an explanation for consciousness, and the importance of exercise for health and performance.

All you need to do is compare a gym in January with a gym in February to see how quickly motivation drops off for the average person. We often think of motivation as an elusive, uncatchable force that comes an goes as it pleases, leaving us whenever it wants to in unpredictable patterns. In this episode with Virginia Tech educational psychology professor Dr Brett Jones, we reveal that motivation is something you can deliberately increase in yourself, and we discuss his MUSIC model of motivation and how we can leverage it to push ourselves to our goals.

Tune in to The College Neuro Network’s first episode with an international university! We chat with Dr. Adrian Owen, a Professor of Neuroscience at the Brain and Mind Institute at The University of Western. As an overview, Dr. Owen's research combines neuroimaging (MRI and EEG) with neuropsychological studies in brain-injured patients and healthy participants. His lab seeks to understand the effects of brain injury in order to improve diagnosis and early detection and to find possible new treatments. In addition, he works to decode physiological signals of the brain that support cognition and behavior across different states of consciousness. 

The College Neuro Network seeks to gain insight into the neuroscience and psychology departments and opportunities at the most prestigious universities by talking with both undergraduate students as well as professors. In today’s episode, learn about neuroscience at Western directly from a Western professor!
