The thing that will set your child apart is teaching them what you already know. A parent is a child’s greatest teacher. This week I brought back the neuroscience sticker sheet @theNeuronFamily designed with the Canadian Association for Neuroscience featuring famous Canadian neuroscientists. For the past year, I’ve been casually teaching my daughter about Canadian neuroscientists during our car rides to school. She was thrilled to see them turned into adorable stickers.

🧠 Update: after a week of reminders in our daily conversation my daughter can now name three famous Montreal neuroscientists: Donald Hebb, Wilder Penfield, and Brenda Milner. She also has a superficial understanding of what they’re famous for.

Another view of that latest pyramidal neuron I made. That purple wood is so unique.

3 f tall, this is the tallest motor Neuron I have ever made. It was cut and carved out of Walnut wood and will soon be complemented with a cherry wood muscle. #sciart

I love long form conversations! Today I has the chance to speak with Carine Bedran for her podcast Take the Lead. We spoke about my career path as a neuroscientist, general principles of neuroplasticity that I try to apply to my own life, and what I’m learning in this season as a “homemaker”. Luckily tech support was on site when I couldn’t figure out why my camera was out of focus 🤪 Episode coming soon.

Creation of the day, an astrocyte cut out of Padauk wood. The red/orange is actually the natural color. #neurobiology
