There are 3 main topics we interviewed our Professors on «Meet the Prof»:

⚡️ Personal life
⚡️ Research field

The first Professor that will begin our rubric is our beloved Professor Ben Tyler. In today’s post he will share his advices on how to sucessfully pass CSCI 152 - most freshmen CS students’ upcoming course.

Dear Friends!

We’re excited to invite you to our first of two sessions of the discussion of the book The Gendered Brain: The new neuroscience that shatters the myth of the female brain, by Professor Gina Rippon

Professor Gina Rippon is an international researcher in the field of cognitive neuroscience based at the Aston Brain Centre at Aston University in Birmingham. In her book The Gendered Brain: The new neuroscience that shatters the myth of the female brain, she explores the existing gendered brain myth and opposes it with the recent neuroscience research.

In this two-session book discussion, we will talk over our current beliefs about the female and male brains, challenge these beliefs by reading The Gendered Brain, and then reflect upon how the book changed our view on the topic. ✨

We do not expect participants to read the book before this session, everyone is welcome to share their opinions!

What will this session look like?
📍Participants will share their thoughts on whether there is a difference between the female and male brain
📍We will listen to Professor Gina Rippon describing her professional journey and the writing process
📍We will pick up any knowledge needed before reading the book

Date: 21st of December
Time: 19:00 (UTC+06:00)
Venue: Google Meets
