The Podcast was happy to be invited back to the Long Island Library Resources Council’s Conference on Libraries and the Future. This is the first part of our conversation with amazing library related professionals talking about their presentations and how they work with libraries. In Part 1 Bob is joined by Joanna Christodoulou, Director of the BEAM Lab and is a professor at Harvard Medical School and a research associate at MIT. Joanna discusses positive neuroscience, reading the brain, reading disabilities, developing readers from a young age and neuroplasticity. She also agrees with Bob about libraries being safe spaces for learning. Bob also discusses the AC/DC concept brought up by Joanna which is 1. Analyzing; 2. Context; 3. Differentiate; and 4. Collaborate.
