Host Kevin Patton gets a call from Mike Pascoe that sparks more discussion of eponyms in teaching, revisits brain neurogenesis in adults and a note from Adam Rich about Barbara Waxer's advice for finding media to use in teaching prompts Kevin to launch a central collection. Plus a word about personal names and pronouns to use with students.

5 | Eponyms Again!

16.5 minutes

After recalling that in the previous episode, Kevin forgot that when discussing Broca's massive sideburns, he could have mentioned that the term "sideburn" is itself an eponym. Then Mike Pascoe calls in with a tip and triggers additional conversation about how to handle eponyms in our teaching.

7 | Personal Names and Pronouns

4 minutes

Learning, using, and properly pronouncing students names is worth the effort to connect with learners personally and build mutual trust and respect. Likewise, introducing our own preferred gender pronouns opens the door for including the personal pronoun preference of student (should that be important to them) and can help connect with our students in ways that improve the learning environment.
