This week on IDIODC, Brent and Chris bring on Margie "The Brain Lady" Meacham! She shares brain-based learning design principles backed up by research. If you're interested in truly improving the ways you design, develop and deliver training, then you need to pay attention to newest research in neuroscience. Margie will talk with us about what works and what doesn't. We'll also talk about the myths surrounding the work we do and how current research better informs our design decisions.

During this episode Margie gives away a copy of her book, Brain Matters: How to help anyone learn anything using neuroscience

During this episode we will also be giving away an #IDIODC mug for the month of April! Join the IDIODC #MugShot gang!
