In this episode, we continue thinking about the brain and learning by walking through the "Learning Trip" that information takes as it goes from input to long-term storage. With stops along the way like the railroad crossing and tollbooths... you can't help but enjoy learning about how we learn!

Today's cocktail is a Lavender Lemon Drop - just in time for spring! Grab the recipe here.

And I mention David Sousa's work on learning and the brain. Catch his bio here.

Today's episode is part 1 of a 3-part series on the brain and learning. Specifically, today we're talking about the anatomy of the brain. Imagine you're listening to Derek Shephard from Grey's Anatomy give a lecture on the brain 🤣

In today's episode, I give you a list of DO'S and DON'TS for emailing your professor. This is presented to you from my perspective as a professor - having gotten both good and bad emails from students over the last decade. 

Take this list with a grain of salt - not every professor is the same! But courtesy goes a long way in your communications.
