Adult human brains have between 86-100 billion neurons and every single one is unique - like snowflakes! ❄️ In this 3D rendering by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, we see 3 different shapes incl. (from left to right) a basket cell, tufted excitatory cell, and a Martinotti cell.

Coming soon!

@JoelieMcCrary Congrats Joelie! It is a great book!

I'm so excited to share about a new project I've been working on. For the past year, I've been collaborating with other teachers, professors, and psychologists to author pages for this new book, Super Simple Psychology, and it's finally finished!!!! #APPsych #Psychology

What do the Olympics and The Creative Process have in common? Read this article to find out. The article references a conversation between Dr. Anthony Fredericks and me about making innovation a habit. psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/crea…

@Roger_Beaty @TrendsCognSci Congrats

My first article to reach 1,000 citations: "Creative cognition and brain network dynamics" in @TrendsCognSci 🎉 Grateful to my grad advisor Paul Silvia for encouraging me to write this, and to the many researchers whose great work on creativity made this review possible 🙏

Positive change(being thankful, being happy, and getting healthy) starts with a good idea. Check out my podcast, The Creativity Algorithm to learn how to have good ideas more often. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

A lot of folks can't wait for spring and warmer weather. It sparks creativity and new ideas. You don't have to wait for anything. Learn how to have good ideas right now by listening to The Creativity Algorithm Podcast. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Your diet is not only what you eat.

@teachergoals Where is the evidence for such a claim? If there is evidence, is it experiment-based or merely anecdotal? This is an edu-myth similar in validity to learning styles. I'm not saying relationships aren't important, but to post such a claim is academically reckless.

So true. 🧡

Reminder: All students are invited to our Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Project at 10:00 am this morning in the cafeteria. We will be organizing toiletries and winter weather gear for a local homeless shelter, as well as writing thank-you notes to service members!

Your subconscious mind can solve problems while you sleep: Your mind keeps processing information and make connections even when you are not consciously aware of it. Let me explain how it works:
