📣I’ve published a primer to teach your child to read!
This book is special to me. As a mom, I wanted to give my kids the best possible start in life, and that journey inspired my work in #cognitivescience.

Title Reads: “Colour your learning: Brain Cells”. Below the main graphic are five small graphics showing the different characters: Neuron, Oligodendrocyte, Micro-glia, Protoplasmic Asyrocyte and Fibrous Astrocyte. Each has a small explainer.
Looking for some nice, clean, kid-friendly neuro content? How about a colouring-page about brain cells and they ways they interact?
Includes plain language explainers about different types of brain cells. I use this #OER in my #CogPsych classes 😉

I find this quote flawed. Unlike different species, people share core capabilities, and tests measure specific skills. That’s why there’s no single test in life but many—each offering a chance to discover and grow our unique strengths.
